EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 18" of John and Elizabeth Gould's "A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons" (1838) features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Violaceous Trogon, Trogon violaceus ramonianus. The trogon is perched gracefully on a branch, its vibrant, iridescent blue belly contrasting sharply with the lush, green foliage. The detail in this exquisite illustration is truly remarkable, from the intricate anatomy of the bird's feathers to the delicate veins on the leaves of the flowering plant in the background. John and Elizabeth Gould were renowned 19th century natural history illustrators, known for their meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of their subjects. This plate, in particular, showcases their exceptional skill in capturing the beauty and elegance of the Violaceous Trogon. The trogon's piercing, yellow eye gazes intently out at the viewer, while its beak is slightly open as if in the midst of a call or song. The Violaceous Trogon is a bird native to the Neotropics, specifically found in the Guianan region of South America. This species is a member of the order Aves and the class Angiospermae, meaning it is a bird that feeds on angiosperms, or flowering plants. The trogon is depicted here with a fan of bright, colorful flowers in its beak, likely indicating that it has just consumed the nectar from these blooms. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of both the Violaceous Trogon and the flowering plant it interacts with. The hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of John and Elizabeth Gould, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology.
