EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Heath after an illustration by George Shaw in his seminal work "General Zoology, Amphibia," published in London in 1801, showcases the smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) in its various stages of life: a male, a female, and a larva. The smooth newt, also known by other common names such as common newt, common water newt, and Lacerta palustris or Lacerta punctata, is a widespread and highly adaptable amphibian species native to Europe. The male newt, depicted on the left, is characterized by its bright orange or red underbelly, used as a mating display. The female, shown in the middle, is larger and more subtly colored, with a brown or olive-green back and a yellow or orange belly. The larva, or eft, on the right, is aquatic and has external gills, which it uses to breathe underwater. As the larva develops, it will eventually metamorphose into an adult newt, undergoing a transformation that includes the loss of its gills and the development of lungs for breathing air. This engraving is an exceptional example of the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century scientific illustration. The smooth newt was an object of fascination for naturalists and collectors of the time, and Shaw's work was a significant contribution to the emerging field of herpetology. The image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the dedication and curiosity of those who sought to document and understand it.
