Two Magnificent Hand-Colored Antique Prints of a Toucan, Ca.1805, Rare
About the Item
Titels of each print: "L'Aracari Azara." and "L'Aracari verd mâle."
The ivory-billed aracari, or ivory-billed araçari (Pteroglossus azara), is a species of bird in the family Ramphastidae. It was named after the naturalist Félix de Azara. The ivory-billed aracari was originally classified in the genus Ramphastos. Alternate names include Azara aracari and yellow-billed aracari. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The L'Aracari verd Mâle or green aracari (Pteroglossus viridis), is a toucan, a near-passerine bird. It is found in the lowland forests of northeastern South America (the Guiana Shield), in the northeast Amazon Basin, the Guianas and the eastern Orinoco River drainage of Venezuela. At 30–40 cm. (12–16 in) long and weighing 110–160 grams (3.9–5.7 oz.), it is the smallest aracari in its range and among the smallest members of the toucan family. The species is named for the green feathers covering its back. (source: wikipedia)
