EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mexican Giant Musk Turtle, a stunning reptile known for its vibrant colors and unique features. The lithograph was created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The image captures the intricate details of this fascinating creature, from its textured shell to its delicate limbs. The turtle's striking patterns and earthy tones are beautifully rendered through the art of lithography, bringing it to life on paper. Published in 1864 as part of "A Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Amphibien in ihren sämtlichen Hauptformen" this illustration serves as both a scientific record and a work of art. It highlights not only the beauty but also the importance of these amphibians in our natural world. The Mexican Giant Musk Turtle belongs to the Staurotypus triporcatus species, which is native to Mexico. Its appearance is distinct with three keels on its carapace (shell) and webbed feet adapted for swimming. This particular lithograph also includes illustrations of other turtles such as Cinosternon pensylvanicum and Kinosternon subrubrum subrubrum. Through this photo print, we can appreciate the rich diversity found within our planet's animal kingdom while also recognizing the artistic skill involved in capturing their essence on paper.
