About this plate
L’Aracari à ceinture rouge dans ses extreme vielesse is from Histoire naturelle des Toucans by François Levaillant (1801–1806). This facsimile is made from the original and printed at the size of the original sheet, 13¼ × 20¼ in (33.5 × 51.5 cm).
About the original
François Levaillant (1753-1824), the French naturalist and traveller born in Paramaribo, published Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de paradis et des rolliers, suivie de celle des toucans et des barbus between 1801 and 1806 with the painter Jacques Barraband (1767-1809): two volumes with 114 engravings after Barraband, printed in colour and finished by hand.
Eighteen of the plates are given to toucans and araçaris, the subject of this series. One of them shows the red-belted araçari ‘in extreme old age’.
