EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, published in 1897, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of sexual dimorphism among lizards, amphibians, and fish. The print showcases nine different species and highlights the remarkable change in appearance that occurs during mating season. From the graceful Flying Dragon to the vibrant Oriental Garden Lizard, each creature exhibits distinct variations in coloration between their normal state (represented by letter b) and their striking transformation during courtship (represented by letter a). This visual representation allows us to appreciate nature's intricate mechanisms for attracting mates. The print features an array of mesmerizing creatures: the Western Green Lizard with its vivid green hues; the Butterfly Blenny adorned with eye-catching patterns; and the Common Dragonet displaying stunning iridescent shades. Additionally, we observe how sexual dimorphism manifests differently across various species - from subtle changes in hue to dramatic alterations in body shape or ornamentation. Notably, this artwork also introduces us to lesser-known aquatic species such as the Three-spined Stickleback with its spiky armor-like exterior and European Bitterling showcasing delicate fins. Furthermore, it acquaints us with enchanting newts like the Northern Crested Newt and Alpine Newt which exhibit distinctive markings during breeding seasons. This chromolithograph is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a valuable scientific resource documenting these unique transformations within nature. It invites viewers to marvel at both biodiversity and evolutionary adaptations while deepening our understanding of reproductive strategies employed by these
