The Hummingbird in Victorian Art & Ephemera
In the 1800s, hummingbirds became a popular subject for both naturalists and artists. Their dazzling colors and delicate shapes were celebrated in botanical plates, travel books, etc. In Victorian symbolism, the hummingbird represented joy, energy, and the fleeting beauty of life. They were often paired with flowers in chromolithographs to evoke exoticism, luxury, and nature’s artistry.
