EDITORS COMMENTS
of John and Elizabeth Gould's "A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons," 2nd Edition (1858-1875) features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Citreoline Trogon, or Trogon citreolus. The image captures the vibrant beauty of this bird species in exquisite detail. John Gould, a renowned English naturalist, and his wife Elizabeth, an accomplished artist, collaborated on this magnificent work, which showcases the anatomy and various poses of the Trogon family. This particular plate highlights the Citreoline Trogon, with its distinctive yellow belly and collar, perched gracefully on a branch adorned with lush, daytime blooming angiosperms. The intricate feather details on the bird's head, collar, and belly are brought to life through the masterful use of hand-colouring. The Trogon's head turns slightly, revealing its expressive, piercing eyes, while its beak is slightly open, as if in the midst of a call. The delicate, flowering branches provide a striking contrast to the bold, vivid colours of the bird, creating a harmonious balance between the natural world and the artful representation. The Citreoline Trogon is a member of the Aves order and the Angiospermae class, making it a fascinating blend of the avian and plant worlds. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of this beautiful bird species, providing both scientific and artistic value. The 19th-century technique of hand-coloured lithography adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true masterpiece of the era. This Plate 4 serves as a testament to the Goulds' unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and their exceptional artistic abilities.
