EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts a European fire-bellied toad, Bombina bombina, a species of true toad native to Europe. Painted by the renowned British natural history illustrator Joan Beauchamp Procter in 1897, this artwork is held in the Library and Archives. Procter, a pioneering woman in the field of herpetology, dedicated her career to the study and illustration of amphibians and reptiles. The European fire-bellied toad, also known as the fire-bellied toad or the eastern fire-bellied toad, is a member of the Bombinatoridae family, order Anura, and class Lissamphibia. This brightly colored amphibian is easily recognizable by its distinctive orange or red underbelly, which serves as a warning to predators of its toxic skin. The toad's upper body is typically brown or green with warts and dark spots. This painting showcases a female European fire-bellied toad, which can be distinguished from males by her larger size and smoother skin. The toad is shown resting on a mossy log, blending in with its natural habitat. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the painting highlight Procter's exceptional skill as an illustrator and her deep understanding of the natural world. Joan Beauchamp Procter's artwork is an invaluable contribution to the history of herpetology and the study of amphibians. Her meticulous illustrations continue to inspire and educate researchers, conservationists, and nature enthusiasts alike. This painting of the European fire-bellied toad is a testament to Procter's dedication to documenting the natural world and her artistic mastery.
