This 1850 wood engraving by Jan Schuitemaker, titled "Amphibieen of tweeslachtige dieren," features a series of six illustrations depicting various amphibians, including a crocodile, a chameleon, a turtle, a frog, and a toad. The images, which are presented within a grid format, are accompanied by short descriptions of each animal in Dutch, providing viewers with educational insights into the natural world. The visual style of the illustrations is characteristic of natural history prints from the 19th century, with detailed depictions of the animals' anatomy and surrounding environments. "Amphibieen of tweeslachtige dieren" is a prime example of the instructional and entertaining nature of 19th-century educational prints.
