EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Tortoises" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an unknown German artist, it now resides in a private collection. The print is part of A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA (Picture Book for Children), which was published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The image showcases two distinct species of tortoises: the Karret-Schildkröte and the Land-Schildkröte. These reptiles are depicted with intricate detail, highlighting their unique features and characteristics. One can observe the Testudo imbricata and Testudo graeca species within this enchanting artwork. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as these majestic creatures navigate their natural habitat. Their shells display mesmerizing patterns that add depth to the overall visual appeal. This print serves as both an educational tool for children to learn about different types of tortoises and a testament to the artistic talent prevalent during its time. Now preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this German masterpiece continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation. Its presence reminds us of our connection with nature's wonders while also celebrating the rich history behind such exquisite engravings.
