EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored drawing depicts a Rhacophorus tree frog from Sarawak, Borneo, as observed in the 19th century. The intricate illustration, drawn by Alfred Russel Wallace, showcases the frog's backside with its spread-out webbed feet. In the lower left corner, the species name, Rhacophorus nigropalatus, is inscribed, indicating its common name as a treefrog from Sarawak. Wallace, a renowned naturalist, drew this illustration during the Victorian era, around 1860. The back and limbs of the frog are depicted as dark green, while the underside and the margins of the webbed toes are yellow. The webs at the base of the toes are black, and the frog appears to have a yellow tag at the margins. The legs are not banded, and the frog exhibits a glossy, uniformly dark green appearance. This drawing is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Southeast Asia and the meticulous work of naturalists like Wallace during the 19th century. The Rhacophorus tree frog, also known as a shrub frog or a flying tree frog due to its ability to glide through the forest, is a member of the Rhacophoridae family, which is part of the larger order Anura, or the order of tailless amphibians. The drawing is an essential historical record of the natural world and a beautiful work of art in its own right.
