This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Amphibia, published in Augsburg in 1794, showcases the intricate anatomy of a frog skeleton juxtaposed with its living counterpart, the edible frog, Pelophylax kl. esculentus. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving is evident in the delicate rendering of both the frog's skeletal structure and its vibrant, green living form. The edible frog, also known as the European common frog or the green frog, is a widely distributed amphibian species native to Europe. It is a popular ingredient in various European cuisines, particularly in France, where it is known as "grenouille" or "cuisses de grenouille." The frog is typically cooked in a light batter and fried, resulting in a tender and succulent dish. The frog skeleton, on the other hand, provides a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy of this amphibian species. The engraving reveals the complex structure of the frog's skeletal system, including its vertebral column, ribcage, and limb bones. The intricate details of the skeleton offer valuable insights into the frog's anatomy and its evolutionary relationships with other amphibians and vertebrates. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of zoology and herpetology, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the natural world through the lens of scientific inquiry. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the juxtaposition of the frog's skeleton and living form, make this a captivating and educational piece that continues to fascinate and inspire viewers today.
