EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a magnificent Green Turtle (Chelone mydas). With its intricate details captured through wood engraving, this image not only highlights the beauty of this reptile but also sheds light on its historical significance. During that era, turtle meat was highly prized and considered a delicacy. Live edible turtles were imported into Europe as table delights, making them an exclusive treat for those who could afford it. This print serves as a reminder of how food preferences have evolved over time and provides insight into the culinary practices of the past. Beyond its gastronomic value, this image invites us to appreciate the wonders of aquatic life. The Green Turtle's elegant appearance is complemented by its scientific importance in herpetology - the study of reptiles and amphibians. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of our fascination with nature's creations and our continuous quest for knowledge about these remarkable creatures. Preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures, this print captures a moment frozen in time - an exquisite representation of both artistry and natural history.
