EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the red variety of the Common Frog, Rana temporaria var. rubra. The illustration was meticulously drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder and published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in 1806. The Common Frog is a widespread amphibian species native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The red variety, however, is less common and is distinguished by its vibrant red coloration on its legs and belly. This illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the frog's physical features, including its large, webbed feet, smooth, moist skin, and prominent, bulging eyes. The intricate engraving technique captures the intricacies of the frog's texture and form, while the delicate hand-coloring brings the creature to life with vivid hues. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the natural history artists and publishers of the 19th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world with precision and artistry. The Common Frog remains an important species in the study of zoology and herpetology, and this illustration serves as an enduring record of its unique and captivating appearance.
