EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the European Olm, a fascinating amphibian species that inhabits underground water systems in Europe. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the scientific-popular natural history of amphibians. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the unique features of this elusive creature. Known as Hypochthon Laurentii or Proteus anguinus in scientific terms, the European Olm is also referred to as "Der gemeine Olm" or "Der schwarze Sisenen-Olm" in German. Its elongated body and translucent skin make it resemble an aquatic serpent, while its tiny limbs suggest its amphibious nature. Through this illustration, we are transported into the mysterious world of reptiles and amphibians. The image not only captures the physical characteristics of these creatures but also highlights their importance within our ecosystem. As we admire this artwork, we gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity found in nature's creations. Published by Leopold Joseph Fitzinger in his renowned Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populAaren Naturgeschichte der Amphibien in ihren sAammtlichen HauptformenA (1864), this lithograph serves as both a work of art and a valuable educational tool. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, it continues to inspire awe and curiosity about these extraordinary animals that share our planet.
