EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a diverse array of tortoise species, captured by an anonymous English artist in the 20th century. The intricate details and lifelike depictions make it evident that this artwork was created with great precision and care. The image is believed to have been originally commissioned for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia, a renowned publication from around 1922. It served as an educational tool, providing readers with valuable knowledge about various tortoise species. Each tortoise depicted in the print represents a different breed, including Chelydra serpentina, Macroclemmys temmincki, Emys europaea graeca, Testudo gigantea midas, Chelone imbricata triunguis, Trionyx ferox chelys fimbriata. These names evoke curiosity and intrigue about these fascinating creatures. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overlooked. It serves as a testament to early 20th-century scientific exploration and documentation of wildlife. This lithograph offers us a glimpse into the past when encyclopedias were cherished sources of information before the digital age took over. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images; this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its contribution to our understanding of these remarkable reptiles.
