"Trogon Collaris" is a lithograph by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould, known for his detailed and vibrant illustrations of birds. This particular artwork depicts the Collared Trogon (Trogon collaris), a species of bird in the family Trogonidae, which is native to the Neotropics. John Gould, often referred to as the "father of bird study in Australia," was renowned for his contributions to ornithology during the 19th century through his extensive work in bird illustration and taxonomy.

The lithograph "Trogon Collaris" is part of Gould's larger body of work, which includes a series of multi-volume books containing illustrations of birds from various regions of the world. His works were notable for their scientific accuracy and artistic quality, often produced in collaboration with other artists, including his wife, Elizabeth Gould, who contributed significantly to the illustrations before her untimely death.

Gould's illustrations were created through a meticulous process that involved initial sketches from live specimens or skins, followed by detailed paintings, and finally, the production of lithographic prints. These prints were then hand-colored by a team of colorists under Gould's supervision. "Trogon Collaris," like many of Gould's illustrations, would have been included in one of his published volumes, serving both as a work of art and a scientific representation of the species.

The lithograph is characterized by its vivid coloration and attention to detail, capturing the distinctive features of the Collared Trogon, such as its bright yellow belly, green iridescence, and the namesake collar around the back of its neck. Gould's work has been celebrated for its contribution to the study and appreciation of birds and remains highly regarded by ornithologists, art collectors, and natural history enthusiasts.

As a historical piece of ornithological art, "Trogon Collaris" exemplifies the intersection of science and art during the Victorian era and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and scientific value. John Gould's legacy as an artist and naturalist endures through his extensive portfolio of bird illustrations, which continue to be referenced and admired to this day.
