EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 45: Harpactes reinwardtii mackloti, or the Red-billed Trogon, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph by John and Elizabeth Gould, published as part of John Gould's A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons, in 1838. The image captures the bird perched gracefully on a branch, its vibrant red bill and belly contrasting sharply against the lush green foliage. The long-tailed trogon is native to the forests of Java in Indonesia and is a member of the Apalharpactes reinwardtii species. John Gould, a renowned English publisher and printmaker, and his wife Elizabeth, a skilled artist and colorist, collaborated on this exquisite work. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the illustration are a testament to their mastery of the lithographic process. The trogon is shown in its natural habitat, with the sun casting dappled light through the forest canopy, creating a serene and idyllic scene. The Red-billed Trogon is a daytime bird, and its distinctive red bill and belly make it easily identifiable. The bird's bib, or throat, is also visible in the illustration, adding to its distinctive appearance. The trogon is a popular subject among bird enthusiasts and collectors, and this beautiful lithograph is a prized addition to any avian collection. A Monograph of the Trogonid was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of over 100 species of trogons. This plate, featuring the Red-billed Trogon, is a standout example of the high-quality work produced by John and Elizabeth Gould during the 19th century.
