EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite lithograph by Edward Lear, based on a drawing by James de Carle Sowerby, showcases the Radiated Tortoise, Geochelone radiata, also known as Astrochelys radiata. The image is taken from the monograph "Tortoises, Terrapins and Turtles, drawn from life" published in 1872, with an introduction by Dr. John Edward Gray. The Radiated Tortoise is native to Madagascar and is one of the largest species of tortoise in the world, with adults reaching up to 30 inches in length. The intricately detailed illustration highlights the unique features of this magnificent creature, including its distinctive radiating patterns on the carapace, which are formed by the overlapping scutes. The Radiated Tortoise is a critically endangered species, with populations declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and the pet trade. In the late 19th century, during the time this monograph was published, the Radiated Tortoise was still relatively common in its natural habitat. However, the 1800s saw significant exploration and exploitation of Madagascar's natural resources, leading to the decline of many species, including the Radiated Tortoise. The illustration is a testament to the natural history art of the 19th century, a time when the world was being explored and documented in great detail. The use of lithography allowed for high-quality, detailed reproductions of the original drawings, making them accessible to a wider audience. The collaboration between Edward Lear, James de Carle Sowerby, and Dr. John Edward Gray resulted in a beautiful and informative work that continues to be a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts of herpetology today.
