EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an enchanting assembly of various amphibian species. The illustration features an assortment of toads and frogs, each distinct in their unique characteristics. In the foreground, the Common Toad, Bufo bufo, with its warty skin and large parotoid glands, sits calmly. Nearby, the Natterjack Toad, Bufo calamita, with its distinctive yellow stripes, hops around. The Fire-bellied Toad, Bombina bombina, with its vibrant orange underbelly, is shown in the middle ground. The Lineated Frog, Leptodactylus fuscus, with its striking dark lines and webbed feet, is shown next to the Common Frog, Rana temporaria. The Edible Frog, Pelophylax esculentus, is depicted with its smooth, green skin and large, bulging eyes. In the background, the Tree Frog, Hyla arborea, is perched on a leaf, its sticky pads allowing it to cling effortlessly. This historical illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of amphibians, showcasing their diverse appearances and unique traits. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving highlight the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history illustrations.
