EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate X11 from Observations de Zoologie et d'Anatomie Comparee (1811) Vol 1, titled "Proteus, seu larva salamandrae, Mexicanis axolotl," is an exquisite illustration of the Axolotl amphibian, a member of the Proteidae family, native to Mexico. This drawing was created by the renowned naturalists Baron Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt and Aime Jacques Alexandre Bonpland during their extensive explorations in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Proteus illustration showcases the amphibian's unique features in remarkable detail. Its mottled, olive-green skin is depicted with great accuracy, as are its distinctive, wide-set eyes, and its large, flat head. The internal anatomy of the Axolotl is also illustrated, revealing its complex organs and structures. This monochrome engraving, produced during the height of the 18th and 19th centuries, is a testament to the meticulous observation and dedication of Humboldt and Bonpland to the fields of herpetology, amphibia, and lissamphibia. Their groundbreaking work laid the foundation for future research and discoveries in the natural sciences. The Proteus illustration is a stunning example of the intricate detail and accuracy that characterized the natural history illustrations of the time. It is a reminder of the fascination and wonder that drove early naturalists to explore the natural world and document their findings for future generations.
