"The Sugar Maple with a Humming Bird" is a notable illustration by William Bartram, an American naturalist, botanist, and artist, renowned for his exploratory journeys through the southeastern United States during the 18th century. This work exemplifies Bartram's dual focus on both the scientific and aesthetic aspects of the natural world, showcasing his meticulous attention to botanical detail as well as his artistic skill. The illustration features the sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum), a species native to the eastern and central regions of North America, accompanied by a hummingbird, likely depicted to illustrate the ecological interactions and the vibrant life surrounding this species.

William Bartram (1739–1823), part of the Bartram botanical dynasty in America, embarked on a four-year journey through eight southern states, starting in 1773. His travels were later chronicled in his influential work, "Travels through North & South Carolina, Georgia, East & West Florida, the Cherokee Country, etc.," published in 1791. This book, a mix of natural history observations, illustrations, and personal anecdotes, significantly contributed to the European Romantic movement's perception of the American wilderness.

"The Sugar Maple with a Humming Bird" stands out as a testament to Bartram's contributions to early American art and science. His illustrations were among the first to document the flora and fauna of the southeastern United States for a European audience, combining scientific accuracy with an almost poetic representation of nature. This particular work not only highlights the beauty and complexity of the subjects it portrays but also serves as a historical document, offering insights into the biodiversity of 18th-century America and the early endeavors in botanical illustration and natural history studies in the New World.

Bartram's legacy, including his detailed illustrations and extensive writings, continues to influence both the scientific and artistic communities. "The Sugar Maple with a Humming Bird" exemplifies his enduring impact on American natural history and art, embodying the spirit of exploration and appreciation for the natural world that characterized his life's work.
