EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph depicts the Philippine Trogon, or Harpactes ardens, a stunning and elusive bird species native to the Philippines. The image is taken from John Gould's A Monograph of the Trogonid, or Family of Trogons, Plate 35, published in 1838. The print was created by the skilled hands of John and Elizabeth Gould, who meticulously colored each detail to bring out the vibrant plumage and anatomical features of the bird. The Philippine Trogon is perched gracefully on a branch, its long, slender bill and distinctive collar standing out against its rich, chestnut-colored belly. The bird's head is turned slightly to the side, revealing its piercing, yellow eyes and intricately patterned feathers on its neck and breast. The pair of birds in the illustration are shown in their natural habitat, adding to the authenticity of the image. The lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the Goulds, who were renowned for their detailed and accurate illustrations of animals and birds during the 19th century. The use of hand-coloring added an extra layer of beauty and realism to the print, making it a valuable addition to any natural history collection. The Philippine Trogon is a member of the Trogonidae family, which includes the trogons, quetzals, and resplendents. These birds are known for their long, graduated tails and distinctive, colorful plumage. The Philippine Trogon is a forest bird, and its population is currently considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
