About this artwork
This plate comes from John Gould's A Monograph of the Trogonidae, or family of trogons, published in 1881. It portrays Harpactes diardii, a trogon, and belongs to a series devoted to this family of birds. Gould was an English ornithologist who produced a number of bird monographs, with plates drawn by his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and by several other artists. His work on birds earned him a lasting reputation, and he is remembered in Australia as an early figure in the study of its birdlife.

About John Gould
John Gould was an English ornithologist who published monographs on birds, with plates by his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and artists including Edward Lear, Joseph Wolf and William Matthew Hart. His seven-volume Birds of Australia, from the 1840s, led many to regard him as the father of Australian bird study. He also identified the birds now called Darwin's finches.
