Visual Materials
A pencil and watercolor drawing illustrating two "tucanos," likely the Channel-billed toucan, and a "picapau," possibly the Red-necked woodpecker, perched on a tree in Santa Catalina, Brazil (now Florianópolis in Santa Catarina). The drawing is accompanied by handwritten text in black ink above and below the illustration describing observations of the birds' diets, habits, behaviors, and physical characteristics. Signed by the artist, Bernardo de Velasco, in brown ink on the bottom of the drawing reading, "Dibujados de los originales en la Ysla de Sta, Catalina por Dn. Bernardo Velasco Teniente del Regimento de Ynfanteria de Murcia." Illustrated by Bernardo de Velasco in Brazil likely while on voyage to Paraguay.
