EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print depicts the Red-headed Trogon, Harpactes erythrocephalus, also known as the Fasciated Curucui or Trogon fasciatus. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist and artist, John Latham, for his comprehensive work, "A General History of Birds." Published in Winchester in 1822, Latham's magnum opus was a significant contribution to the field of ornithology during the Victorian era. The Red-headed Trogon is a vibrant and eye-catching bird native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. The male is easily identified by its distinctive red head and orange-yellow underparts, while the female sports a more subdued appearance with a brown head and grayish-brown underparts. Both sexes have black wings with white spots and a long, curved beak. The Red-headed Trogon is a versatile bird, inhabiting a variety of forested environments, from primary rainforests to secondary growth and even plantations. They feed primarily on fruit, but also consume insects and other small invertebrates. Their nests are built in tree cavities or old woodpecker holes, and they lay two to five eggs per clutch. This exquisite print not only showcases the beauty and detail of the Red-headed Trogon but also serves as a testament to the skill and dedication of John Latham and the artisans who brought his work to life. The intricate engraving and delicate hand-coloring capture the essence of this fascinating bird, transporting us back in time to the rich natural history of the 19th century.
