EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a female Common Suriname Toad or Star-fingered Toad (Pipa pipa) with eggs embedded in pockets on her back. The image is taken from Dr. George Shaw's seminal work, "General Zoology, Amphibia," published in London in 1801. Shaw, a renowned naturalist and illustrator, meticulously documented various species of amphibians in this groundbreaking publication. The Common Suriname Toad, native to the tropical regions of South America, is easily recognizable by its distinctive star-shaped webbing on its hind feet and its unique method of carrying its eggs. Instead of laying them externally, the female toad embeds them in her back, which can be seen in this enchanting illustration. The eggs are encased in a jelly-like substance, providing them with protection and nourishment. The intricate engraving process, executed by an unknown engraver after Shaw's illustration, enhances the natural beauty of the Common Suriname Toad. The use of hand-coloring further adds to the lifelike quality of the image, making it an exceptional example of 19th-century natural history illustration. This print not only showcases the intricacies of the Common Suriname Toad but also highlights the remarkable attention to detail and artistry of the time.
