EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Muller's skink, Sphenomorphus muelleri, a captivating reptile native to the forests of Southeast Asia. Named in honor of the Dutch naturalist, Dr. Salomon Müller, this skink species is endemic to the Malay Peninsula and parts of Sumatra and Borneo. The Muller's skink is a medium-sized lizard, measuring around 20 cm in length. Its body is slender and elongated, with a brownish-grey coloration adorned with irregular black spots. The underbelly is white, and the limbs are lined with small, keeled scales. This skink is an excellent climber and spends most of its time in trees, where it feeds on insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. This beautiful lithograph is from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig in 1842. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring brings out the intricate patterns and textures of the Muller's skink's scales, making it an exquisite addition to any collection of herpetological art. The image serves as a testament to the natural history community's dedication to documenting and preserving the world's diverse reptile species, including the Muller's skink, which continues to fascinate researchers and enthusiasts alike.
