EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph captures the majestic Giant turtle of Rodrigues Island, a species that sadly became extinct in the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient creature back to life, allowing us to marvel at its sheer size and unique features.
Based on an illustration by F. John and published in Animals du monde primitive in Hamburg, Germany in 1910, this print is a testament to the rich history of natural history exploration during the early 20th century. The historical significance of this image is further highlighted by its inclusion in the animal map series published by the Reichardt Cocoa Company.
As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our planet's diverse wildlife for future generations. The Giant turtle of Rodrigues Island may no longer roam our oceans, but through prints like these, we can continue to appreciate and learn from these magnificent creatures.
Let this image serve as a reminder of both our past mistakes and our ongoing responsibility to protect and conserve endangered species around the world. May it inspire us to take action towards creating a more sustainable future for all living beings on Earth.
