Before photography was invented, talented painters and illustrators brought people closer to animals and plants from distant lands. These illustrations can be found in the archives of libraries and museums, which now generously share them with everyone on the Internet. In this calendar, the author has dedicated herself to the fascinating hummingbirds, which impress us with their speed and enchant us with their elegance and iridescent plumage. New landscapes have been created on the computer from many individual illustrations, in which the hummingbirds can frolic happily.
