"Humming Bird Crimson Topaz" is a notable illustration by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould. Known for his significant contributions to the field of bird illustration during the 19th century, Gould's work was characterized by its vivid detail and artistic quality, which brought to life the exotic and diverse avian species he depicted. The Crimson Topaz (Topaza pella), a species of hummingbird found in the Amazonian regions of South America, is renowned for its striking plumage, which Gould captured with his typical finesse.

The illustration likely formed part of one of Gould's comprehensive multi-volume works on birds, such as "A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Humming-Birds" (1849–1861), which included 360 plates and was considered his masterpiece. Gould's illustrations were based on his observations and specimens collected during his travels and were brought to life with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth Gould, who contributed to the lithography and coloring of his early works until her death in 1841.

John Gould's illustrations, including "Humming Bird Crimson Topaz," were not only scientifically accurate but also artistically compelling, reflecting his ambition to create both a scientific record and a work of art. His legacy includes the documentation of numerous bird species, some of which have since become endangered or extinct, making his work an invaluable historical record of avian biodiversity during his time.

The "Humming Bird Crimson Topaz" stands as a testament to Gould's skill and passion for ornithology and art, and it remains an important piece within the history of naturalist illustration. It continues to be appreciated by both ornithologists for its scientific value and art enthusiasts for its beauty, serving as an enduring example of the intersection between science and art during the Victorian era.
