EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts Apaloderma narina, also known as Narina Trogon, a stunning bird species native to the forests of sub-Saharan Africa. The illustration is taken from John Gould's "A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons," published in 1838. The image was produced by the skilled hands of John and Elizabeth Gould, who meticulously added colors to the lithographic plates. The Narina Trogon is a medium-sized bird, with a distinctive belly that is brightly colored in shades of blue, green, and brown. The bird's back is grey, and its head is adorned with a distinctive red cap. The illustration captures the Narina Trogon perched on a branch, with its beak open as if ready to pounce on an insect or other arthropod. The Narina Trogon is a member of the order Trogoniformes, which includes birds such as quetzals and harpy eagles. They are part of the class Aves, which includes all birds, and the phylum Chordata, which includes vertebrates. The Narina Trogon is also part of the class Insecta, which includes insects, and the subclass Hexapoda, which includes hexapods, or animals with six legs. The Narina Trogon is an important predator in its ecosystem, feeding primarily on insects and other arthropods. The illustration provides a detailed anatomy of the bird, revealing the intricate structure of its wings, beak, and body. The lithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and a reminder of the importance of preserving habitats that support unique and fascinating species like the Narina Trogon.
