First Edition
Folio (21 2/8 x 14 4/8 inches). 47 hand-colored lithographs, most heightened with gum arabic, after John Gould, H.C. Richter, and W. Hart. Contemporary dark green morocco gilt, all edges gilt (expertly rebacked to style, inner hinges strengthened, first and last blanks renewed). Second edition, revised and expanded, originally published in three parts ?1836-1838. This new edition contains 11 new plates not included in the first edition. Gould's second monograph in which he introduces 12 species new to science. Trogons (and Quetzels) mostly inhabit tropical rainforests and get their name from the Greek ('Trogon') word for nibbling, referring to the way in which they gnaw holes in trees to make their nests. Initially employed as a taxidermist [he was known as the 'bird-stuffer'] by the Zoological Society, Gould's fascination with birds began in the "late 1820s [when] a collection of birds from the Himalayan mountains arrived at the Society's museum and Gould conceived the idea of publishing a volume of imperial folio sized hand-coloured lithographs of the eighty species, with figures of a hundred birds (A Century of Birds Hitherto Unfigured from the Himalaya Mountains, 1830-32). Gould's friend and mentor N. A. Vigors supplied the text. Elizabeth Gould made the drawings and transferred them to the large lithographic stones. Having failed to find a publisher, Gould undertook to publish the work himself; it appeared in twenty monthly parts, four plates to a part, and was completed ahead of schedule. "With this volume Gould initiated a format of publishing that he was to continue for the next fifty years, although for future works he was to write his own text. Eventually fifty imperial folio volumes were published on the birds of the world, except Africa, and on the mammals of Australia-he always had a number of works in progress at the same time. Several smaller volumes, the majority not illustrated, were published, and he also presented more than 300 scientific papers. "His hand-coloured lithographic plates, more than 3300 in total, are called 'Gould plates'. Although he did not paint the final illustrations, this description is largely correct: he was the collector (especially in Australia) or purchaser of the specimens, the taxonomist, the publisher, the agent, and the distributor of the parts or volumes. He never claimed he was the artist for these plates, but repeatedly wrote of the 'rough sketches' he made from which, with reference to the specimens, his artists painted the finished drawings. The design and natural arrangement of the birds on the plates was due to the genius of John Gould, and a Gould plate has a distinctive beauty and quality. His wife was his first artist. She was followed by Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, William Matthew Hart, and Joseph Wolf" (Gordon C. Sauer for DNB).

JOHN JAMES AUDUBON'S COPY OF GOULD'S FIRST EDITION OF THE TROGONS, with his ownership inscription on the top of the first wrapper dated "March 21st 1836 | London." A GIFT FROM ONE GREAT ORNITHOLOGIST TO ANOTHER: before Gould left for Australia, he presented Audubon with the two parts of the Trogonidae, Icones avium, and the two rare cancelled parts of the Birds of Australia and Adjacent Islands. Audubon also underlined a passage opposite the "Trogon Narina," plate that refers to the young chicks: "at the moment the young are excluded [from the nest] they take flight and follow their parents for a considerable period" and penciled the following marginal note: "This beats my little humming Birds which cannot fly until they are one week old. Pray show this Paragraph to Charles Watterton 'Esquire' of Walton Hall." Watterton was an English naturalist and explorer who had invented a new method of taxidermy. Additionally, there is an explanatory typescript note dated 16 March 1950 and signed by Audubon's great grandson, Leonard B. Audubon: "The books were given to my great grandfather, John James Audubon, an American Ornithologist and Painter. Gould at the time was painting along similar lines, and they exchanged copies of their works. These particular books were sent out to Australia forty years ago, and were held in the Audubon family until this year when Mr. Hallstrom purchased the books from the great grandson of John James Audubon." A fact which is attested to by the presence of the bookplate of Audubon's granddaughter, Maria R. Audubon on the verso of the second card wrapper. The bookplate bears the image of a turkey modelled after her grandfather's incised carnelian signet ring and the motto "America My Country." Audubon had subscribed to Gould's first major work, A Century of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains (1831-32) and his first multi-volume monograph, The Birds of Europe (1832-37). In his preface for the Trogons, Gould credited Audubon and twenty others "for the warm interest they have at all times taken in the present work." The first edition of the Trogons introduced twelve species new to science. Largely inhabitants of tropical rainforests, they got their name from the Greek word ("Trogon") for nibbling, referring to the way in which they gnaw holes in trees to make their nests.
