EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Turtles of Phenomenal Size" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable work of German School artists. The print, now part of a private collection, originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned Picture Book for Children (1790-1830). The image presents an array of awe-inspiring reptiles known as turtles. These magnificent creatures are depicted in their natural habitat with astonishing detail and precision. From the giant turtle or green turtle (Testudo mydas) to the loggerhead sea turtle (Testudo caretta), this engraving showcases their grandeur and beauty. Each turtle is meticulously rendered, capturing their unique characteristics and intricate patterns on their shells. The vibrant colours bring these creatures to life, making them appear almost three-dimensional. As we gaze at this artwork, we can't help but marvel at the sheer size and majesty of these turtles. They remind us of nature's ability to create extraordinary beings that have roamed our planet for centuries. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific curiosity during its time. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also provides insight into how humans have long been fascinated by the wonders of our natural world. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported into a realm where imagination meets reality – a place where colossal turtles roam freely in all their splendour.
