EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the immature form of the Spadefoot Toad, Pelobates fuscus, also known as the Garlic Toad or Alliaceous Toad (Rana alliacea). The image is derived from an illustration by the renowned English naturalist, Dr. George Shaw, taken from his comprehensive work, "General Zoology, Amphibia," published in London in 1801. The Spadefoot Toad is a unique amphibian species native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. These tadpoles, depicted in the engraving, are characterized by their elongated, torpedo-shaped bodies and large, external gills, which help them breathe underwater. Their coloration ranges from dark brown to olive green, with distinct darker spots and stripes. The Spadefoot Toad derives its common name from the distinctive spade-like protrusions on the back feet of adults, which they use to dig pits in the ground to hide from predators. The Garlic Toad moniker comes from the unpleasant odor emitted by these amphibians when threatened. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the intricate artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, providing an enduring record of the natural world. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the life cycle of the Spadefoot Toad, showcasing the transformation from aquatic tadpole to terrestrial adult.
