[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 44068, member: 118"]The sheets size are 21 1/2" x 14 1/2". I believe the lithos are from the original first or second edition but not sure which one. Maybe the second. The first edition of A Monograph of the Trogonidae, or Family of Trogons was published 1835-1838, 36 hand-colored lithographic plates. The second was published in 1858-75, the plates having been redrawn, and 12 new species were added. The depiction of the birds was more elaborate with arranged perches of tropical plants and occasional background landscapes. Seems like both editions have the same sizes of the plates. Not sure if the species on mine were present in the first one or are from the 12 new. If not wrong both editions were printed by Hullmandel & Walton. So, not sure what's the deal with "Walter Imp" ?
