EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 36 of John Gould's A Monograph of the Trogonid, or Family of Trogons, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Diard's Trogon, Harpactes diardii. This beautiful illustration, created by the collaborative efforts of John Gould and his wife Elizabeth, showcases the intricate details of this unique bird species. The Diard's Trogon is depicted perched on a branch, displaying its distinctive plumage. The bird's belly is a rich brown colour, contrasting with the darker brown of its collar and the lighter brown fan-like markings on its chest. Its collar is adorned with a white bib, adding a striking contrast to the rest of its body. The trogon's belly is adorned with intricate patterns, adding to its visual appeal. The illustration captures the bird in its natural habitat, with the artist's skilled hand adding the vibrant colours to bring the image to life. The lithograph was created in the nineteenth century, during a time when natural history illustrations were at the height of their popularity. John and Elizabeth Gould were renowned for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to bring the natural world to life through their illustrations. This particular plate is a testament to their artistic prowess and their dedication to documenting the natural world. The Diard's Trogon is a daytime bird, found in the forests of Southeast Asia. Its distinctive call, which sounds like the ringing of a bell, can be heard echoing through the forest. This illustration provides a glimpse into the beauty and intrigue of this fascinating bird species, which continues to captivate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
