EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 30 of the Loten Collection of Coloured Drawings presents a stunning illustration of the Malabar Trogon, Harpactes fasciatus, created by the skilled hand of Pieter Cornelis de Bevere in the 18th century. The Malabar Trogon, also known as the Striped Hawk-eagle Trogon, is a vibrant bird species native to the Indian subcontinent. De Bevere's painting captures the Malabar Trogon's distinctive features with remarkable accuracy. The bird is depicted with its long, red belly and black and white striped tail feathers, which contrast sharply against its dark back and wings. Its beak is curved and sharp, suited for its omnivorous diet that includes fruits, seeds, and small animals. The Malabar Trogon is a sauropsid, a group of animals that includes reptiles and birds. It belongs to the order Trogoniformes and the family Trogonidae. This bird was a subject of great interest during the 18th century, as naturalists and collectors sought to document and classify the diverse range of animal species. Joan Gideon Loten, the Dutch collector and naturalist, amassed an impressive collection of coloured drawings of birds, mammals, insects, and plants. The collection was produced between 1754 and 1757 and is now a valuable resource for scientific research and conservation efforts. De Bevere's illustration of the Malabar Trogon is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The bird is depicted in a lifelike pose, with its head turned slightly to the side and its wings slightly spread. The use of vibrant colors and intricate shading adds to the realism of the illustration, making it a beautiful addition to any collection of natural history art.
