EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cornuta), 1790" takes us back to the late eighteenth century when British artist Frederick Polydor Nodder skillfully captured the mischievous and humorous nature of this amphibious creature. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally published in London as Plate 76 from George Shaw's renowned work, Vivarium Naturae or the Naturalists Miscellany. In this delightful print, we find ourselves by the side of a riverbank, where an English horned frog playfully reveals its cheeky temperament. With its mouth wide open and a mischievous twinkle in its eye, it seems to be engaging in some sort of silly antics that only frogs can conjure up. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring this whimsical scene to life. Nodder's expertise as an illustrator shines through as he captures every nuance of the frog's unique features - from its distinctive horn-like protrusions to its intriguing animal markings. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature while also evoking a sense of wonderment. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on paper. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Nodder had an innate ability to capture not just physical likeness but also the essence and personality of their subjects.
