About this piece
John Gould hand-colored lithograph for sale: “Ramphastos citreolaemus,” the Citron-throated Toucan, from the 19th-century ornithological work of English naturalist John Gould. Gould’s toucan plates are famed for their dramatic scale and bold, saturated color, and this print shows the species’ massive bill and striking markings in vivid, hand-colored detail. Each impression was individually hand-colored in the traditional manner, giving the plumage a depth and richness no modern reproduction can achieve. At 16” x 14”, it frames into a commanding natural-history centerpiece. As an authentic antique Gould bird print, not a facsimile, it is highly collectible, appealing to lovers of ornithological art and bold decorative statements alike. “Ramphastos citreolaemus” is a genuine John Gould original: 19th-century fine natural-history art with lasting collector value and unmistakable presence.
