EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Blacksmith tree frog, also known as Hypsiboas faber. The image, captured by Corsi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The Blacksmith tree frog, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is truly a sight to behold. Its scientific name pays homage to its blacksmith-like appearance and its ability to withstand extreme conditions. This amphibian species can be found in various regions and goes by different names such as smith frog or Ranocchiella di Gaimard. The illustration was expertly drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. Their collaboration resulted in an accurate depiction that captures every detail of this fascinating creature. As we admire this stunning artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of nature's endless wonders. The Blacksmith tree frog serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, there is always room for appreciation and awe for the natural world around us.
