1. Title: A Fascinating Comparison: Elachistocleis Ovalis Frog from South America and the European Green Toad This handcolored engraving, created by Mme. Fournier after an illustration by Oudart for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History) in 1849, showcases two intriguing amphibian species: the Elachistocleis ovalis frog from South America (also known as Engystoma ovale) and the European green toad, Bufo viridis. The Elachistocleis ovalis frog, native to South America, is a small, bicolor sapito (frog) with a pointed snout and large, round, golden eyes. The upper part of its body is dark brown or green, while the underbelly is white or cream-colored. This frog species is known for its unique ability to breathe through its skin, making it well-adapted to living in humid environments. On the other hand, the European green toad, Bufo viridis, is a common amphibian found throughout Europe. This apuntado (spotted) toad has a distinctive green coloration with warts covering its skin, and its belly is white or yellow. The European green toad is a terrestrial species that can be found near ponds and other bodies of water. Both the Elachistocleis ovalis frog and the European green toad are fascinating examples of the incredible diversity of the amphibian world. This beautiful handcolored engraving not only highlights their unique physical characteristics but also serves as a testament to the meticulous work of naturalists and illustrators during the 19th century. This image is a must-have for any collection focused on herpetology, natural history, or the history of science. It is a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
