About this plate
Citron-breasted Toucan (Ramphastos citreolæmus) is from Family of Toucans by John Gould (1834 and 1855). Today the species is known as the Channel-billed Toucan. This facsimile is made from the original and printed at the size of the original sheet, 15 × 22 in (38 × 56 cm).
About the original
John Gould (1804-1881) published A Monograph of the Ramphastidae, or Family of Toucans in 1834, in three parts: the first monograph of the family and one of his earliest books. The hand-coloured lithographs show the toucans and araçaris of Mexico, Central and South America against plain backgrounds; several were drawn by Edward Lear.
This series brings together the plates of that first edition and of the Supplement Gould added in 1855.
