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.
