About this plate

Golden Green Aracari (Pteroglossus prasinus) is plate 29 of Family of Toucans by John Gould (1834 and 1855). Today the species is known as the Northern Emerald Toucanet. 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.
