EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts a Karachi Frog (Bufo melanostictus), a native amphibian species from the Indian subcontinent. The artwork is a masterpiece by Olivia Fanny Tonge (1858-1949), an English artist known for her detailed illustrations of Asian flora and fauna. Measuring 180 x 260mm, this painting is one of sixteen sketchbooks presented to the museum in 1952. The Karachi Frog is a member of the Bufonidae family, commonly known as true toads. Its distinctive features include its large, round, and prominent eyes, which are highlighted in this illustration with intricate detail. The frog's nose, characterized by a prominent ridge, is also clearly visible. The annotated details on the painting reveal that this specimen was found in Karachi, Pakistan. The frog is shown wearing a delicate gold chain around its neck, which was a common practice during the colonial era for collecting and displaying exotic specimens. The chain adds an interesting historical context to the artwork and emphasizes the importance of this amphibian in natural history collections. This painting is an excellent example of the annotated drawings and illustrations produced during the Lissamphibian era, a significant period in the study of amphibians and reptiles. The detailed anatomy and accurate representation of the Karachi Frog's features demonstrate Olivia Fanny Tonge's exceptional artistic skills and her deep understanding of the natural world. This watercolor painting is not only an essential addition to the museum's collection but also a valuable historical and artistic artefact that provides insights into the natural history of the Asian continent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
