EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" captures the intricate beauty of two unique amphibian species - the Surinam toad, Pipa pipa, and the Surinam horned frog, Ceratophrys cornuta. The male Surinam toad is depicted carrying its female counterpart on its back, with eggs visible on her skin. This fascinating reproductive behavior is characteristic of this species, as the female lays her eggs on the male's back where they develop until hatching.
The Surinam horned frog, with its distinctive appearance and large mouth, adds a touch of whimsy to the composition. Its vibrant colors and intricate details are brought to life through careful hand-coloring by skilled artists.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch's encyclopedia for children was a groundbreaking work in natural history illustration, featuring over 1,200 engraved plates covering a wide range of subjects. This particular print showcases his dedication to capturing the diversity and wonder of the natural world for young audiences.
Overall, this enchanting image serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity found in nature, inviting viewers to marvel at these fascinating creatures and appreciate their place in our world.
