EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the Black-tailed Trogon, Trogon melanurus macroura, a captivating bird species belonging to the Trogonid family. The illustration is an exquisite creation of John and Elizabeth Gould, showcasing their exceptional artistic skills and anatomical knowledge. The image captures the Black-tailed Trogon perched gracefully on a branch, displaying its vibrant plumage. The male bird is adorned with a brilliant red belly, chest, and underparts, contrasting sharply with its black tail and collar, which gives it its distinct name. The female, although similar in size and shape, has a greenish-brown coloration with a white belly and a blue-green sheen on its head and breast. The intricate details of the Black-tailed Trogon's anatomy are beautifully rendered, highlighting its sauropsid ancestry, with its reptile-like beak and the scaly texture of its legs. This illustration is a testament to the Goulds' mastery of their craft and their dedication to documenting the natural world in the 19th century. The Black-tailed Trogon is a fascinating bird, native to Central and South America, and this image serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
