EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a variety of crocodile species, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of these ancient reptiles. The print, part of a private collection, is believed to be from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830. The artwork features three distinct types of crocodiles: the American crocodile, the Gavial (also known as the Ganges-Krokodil), and an unidentified amphibian species. Each creature is meticulously depicted with intricate details that highlight their unique characteristics. The American crocodile exudes power and strength with its formidable jaws open wide, while the Gavial displays its slender snout perfectly adapted for catching fish in rivers. The third amphibian species adds an element of mystery to this composition, leaving viewers intrigued by its unfamiliar form. Created by an unknown German artist from centuries past, this enchanting engraving offers us a window into both natural history and artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with wildlife and our desire to understand and appreciate Earth's diverse creatures. Now preserved in digital format by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this historical print continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Its timeless beauty reminds us of nature's wonders while honoring the artistic legacy left behind by talented individuals who sought to educate and inspire generations through their work.
