EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Chelydra serpentina, a species of turtle, in all its glory. Created by Friedrich Wilhelm Wunder before 1792, this watercolor on paper artwork measures 20x35.5 cm and is currently housed at Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany. Also known as the Schnappschildkroete, this stunning reptile is depicted in profile, allowing us to admire every intricate detail of its shell and carapace. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out the natural beauty of this creature, capturing its essence with precision. Originally drawn for reproduction as plate XXVI in Johann David Schoepf's Naturgeschichte der Schildkroeten mit Abbildungen erlaeutert Erlangen (1792-1801), this painting holds great historical significance within the field of natural history. It serves as a testament to the meticulous observation and documentation carried out during that era. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness an amphibian marvel frozen forever on paper. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our planet's diverse wildlife. Thanks to eHumboldt Innovation and eHumboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin for preserving and sharing such remarkable pieces from our past. This photograph reminds us of the importance of studying nature's wonders while also appreciating their artistic representation.
