General
Uncolored litho print of Ramphastos toco. An interesting question arises here, since this is not the R. toco of either edition of the Monograph of the Ramphastides; the plate in the first edition is signed "E. Lear 1833" and the present print resembles it closely in setting and overall design (reversed left to right); in the second edition the plate is captioned as by Gould and Richter, and some details of the bird seem to have been taken from Lear's version, but a second bird and the setting are quite new.
