EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 11: Ramphastos vitellinus culminatus, the Channel-billed Toucan (John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter, A Monograph of the Ramphastid, or family of Toucans, 2nd edition, 1854). This stunning hand-colored lithograph showcases the distinctive features of the Channel-billed Toucan (also known as the Yellow-billed Toucan), a vibrant and iconic bird species native to Central and South America. The Channel-billed Toucan's large, expressive face is the center of attention in this image. Its oversized, colorful bill, which is longer than its body, is a striking feature that distinguishes it from other bird species. The upper mandible is red, while the lower mandible is yellow, giving the bird its common name. The bird's large, bright eyes are set against a backdrop of blue feathers, adding to its striking appearance. The Channel-billed Toucan's anatomy is beautifully rendered in this detailed illustration. Its strong, curved beak is not only used for foraging but also for drumming on branches to communicate and attract mates. The bird's large, breast is covered in blue and green feathers, providing excellent camouflage in the rainforest. This exquisite lithograph was produced by John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter for the second edition of A Monograph of the Ramphastid, or family of Toucans, published in 1854. The illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time, providing a window into the natural world of the 19th century.
