EDITORS COMMENTS
of John and Elizabeth Gould's "A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons" (1838) features a stunning, hand-coloured lithograph of the Harpactes duvaucelii, also known as the scarlet-rumped trogon. This exquisite illustration showcases the vibrant plumage and intricate anatomy of this bird. John Gould, a renowned English publisher and printmaker, and his wife Elizabeth, a skilled artist, collaborated on this ambitious project to document the natural history of the trogon family. The image of the Harpactes duvaucelii is perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, its head turned slightly towards the viewer, revealing the intricacies of its feathers and the distinctive orange hue of its rump. The trogon is a bird native to the forests of Southeast Asia, and this illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of its anatomy, with each feather and contour meticulously rendered. The image is set against a plain background, allowing the bird to take centre stage and captivate the viewer's attention. The nineteenth century was a time of great exploration and discovery, and "A Monograph of the Trogonid" was a significant contribution to the scientific record of the natural world. This illustration, in particular, offers a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the avian world, and serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of John and Elizabeth Gould. The Harpactes duvaucelii is a bird of the daytime hours, and this image captures it in its vibrant, colourful glory. The use of hand-colouring adds depth and richness to the illustration, bringing the bird to life and making it a true work of art. This image is a must-see for anyone with an interest in ornithology, natural history, or the art of the nineteenth century.
