Frog / 1857 (Buckland) - A Captivating Glimpse into the Past: The Common Frog in Victorian Era Natural History This exquisite photograph, entitled "Frog / 1857 (Buckland)," showcases the common frog (Rana temporaria) in a remarkable historical context. Captured in 1857, this image is a testament to the rich heritage of natural history and scientific exploration. The photograph was taken by the renowned British naturalist and photographer, Albert Gunnar Leslie Buchanan, also known as Buckland. The common frog, with its distinctive webbed feet, is a familiar sight in many parts of Europe. In this photograph, the frog is captured in a natural setting, sitting on a mossy stone, its legs slightly spread, revealing the intricate details of its webbed feet. The image is a captivating reminder of the beauty and intrigue that the natural world holds. The photograph is a significant historical artifact, reflecting the advances in photography during the Victorian era. The use of a wet collodion process, which required the photographic plate to be sensitized and exposed in the darkroom shortly before taking the photograph, resulted in a high-quality image with exceptional detail and clarity. Buckland's work was instrumental in documenting the natural world during a time when scientific exploration and discovery were at the forefront of society's interests. This image, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of herpetology and the study of amphibians. The common frog, with its webbed feet, has been a subject of fascination for naturalists and scientists for centuries, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
