EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print depicts a female Black-throated Trogon, Trogon rufus, also known as the Rufous Curucui or Rufous-tailed Trogon. The print is taken from Martinet's illustration of the "Couroucou à queue rousse de Cayenne" for Buffon, created in the early 19th century. The illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist and artist, John Latham, from his own "A General History of Birds." The Black-throated Trogon is a striking bird native to Central and South America, with a distinctive black throat, chestnut belly, and a long, graduated tail. This female specimen is shown perched on a branch, her vibrant plumage contrasting beautifully against the lush, green foliage. Trogons are known for their agile flight, with their long tails helping them maneuver through the dense forests of their habitat. This print is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century ornithological illustration. The delicate hand-coloring adds depth and richness to the image, bringing the Black-throated Trogon to life. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology, providing a glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago.
