Trogons of the Americas – Plate CIX
This nineteenth-century ornithological plate illustrates five brilliantly colored trogons resting among the branches of a tropical forest. Rich emerald greens, deep crimson reds, warm golds, and brilliant blues contrast against a delicately engraved landscape, creating one of the most striking compositions in Victorian bird illustration.
Originally published in John Gould's A Monograph of the Trogonidae, or Family of Trogons, the artwork combines scientific precision with exceptional hand-colored lithography. The result is both an important ornithological record and an elegant decorative print that continues to appeal to collectors of natural history.
