EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving by Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm captures the delicate beauty of two fascinating reptiles - the Orvet fragile or common and a variety of American apode lezard. The intricate details in this artwork from the Encyclopedie of Natural History: Amphibians, 1794, showcase the artist's skill in capturing the unique characteristics of these creatures.
The Orvet fragile or common, also known as the slow-worm or blind worm (Anguis fragilis), is depicted with its slender body and smooth scales. Its graceful form is contrasted with the eastern glass lizard (Ophisaurus ventralis), which displays a more elongated shape and distinct markings.
Wilhelm's meticulous attention to detail brings these creatures to life on paper, allowing viewers to appreciate their natural beauty and diversity. The vibrant colors used in this print further enhance the visual appeal of these reptiles, making them appear almost lifelike.
As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork, we are reminded of the wonders of nature and the importance of preserving biodiversity. Through his work, Wilhelm not only educates us about these fascinating animals but also inspires us to marvel at the complexity and intricacy of our natural world.
