EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 41 of John and Elizabeth Gould's A Monograph of the Trogonid, or Family of Trogons, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Cinnamon-rumped Trogon, Harpactes orrhophaeus. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this beautiful bird's anatomy, with its vibrant brown plumage and distinctive cinnamon-colored belly. The trogon is depicted perched on a branch, surrounded by an array of delicate, flowering plants. The plate, created in the 19th century, is a testament to the exceptional artistry and scientific accuracy of the Goulds' work. John Gould was a renowned English publisher and printmaker, known for his high-quality natural history prints. His wife, Elizabeth, was an accomplished artist and colorist, who hand-painted each lithograph with great care and precision. The Cinnamon-rumped Trogon is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae, which is known for its distinctive, daytime-active behavior and its association with angiosperms, or flowering plants. In this illustration, the trogon is shown in its natural habitat, surrounded by a variety of flowering dicotyledonous plants, including several species of the genus Cinnamomum. The illustration also highlights the intricate details of the trogon's anatomy, from its beak and feathers to its legs and feet. The delicate, hand-colored flowers add a touch of beauty and elegance to the plate, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable scientific record.
