Vintage Print, FROGS Art Print "le Rane" from the book A Voi Bimbi by Edoardo Gioja (AR-A735)
 
This print comes from an Italian Children's book from 1911 called A Voi Bimbi. It is a collection of color prints depicting critters and plants. 
This vintage print depicts three frogs positioned on large leaves, likely lily pads, with water droplets scattered around. The frogs are rendered with detailed markings, showcasing their natural patterns and colors. The print employs a hand-colored lithographic technique, which was common for scientific illustrations of the time. Such illustrations were often used in natural history books to educate the public about various species of animals. 
The frogs appear to be of the Pelophylax esculentus species, commonly known as the Edible Frog or European Green Frog, which is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The print's style suggests a focus on accurate representation for educational purposes, typical of scientific illustrations from that era. The use of lithography allowed for detailed reproduction and wider dissemination of such images. The image's vintage aesthetic, combined with its educational context, makes it a valuable example of early natural history illustration.
