Original Antique Print of Four Slow Worms and Legless Lizards by Bertuch, 1802 Original antique hand-colored copper engraving depicting four varieties of slow worms and snake-like legless reptiles, published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s celebrated “Bilderbuch für Kinder” in Weimar in 1802. The plate is titled “Amphibien XX / Amphibies XX” and depicts four elegantly intertwined specimens. Bertuch identifies them as the Common Slow Worm or Blindworm (Anguis fragilis), Short-bellied Slow Worm (Anguis ventralis), Flat-tailed Slow Worm (Anguis platura), and Variegated Slow Worm (Anguis variegata). At the time these unusual reptiles were commonly associated with snakes because of their elongated, limbless bodies. The familiar European slow worm, despite its snake-like appearance, is in fact a legless lizard. Bertuch records a remarkably international distribution for the animals illustrated on this plate, describing examples from Europe and the Old World, Carolina and Virginia, the East Indies and New Holland (Australia). The intertwined arrangement and strong original hand coloring give the plate considerable decorative appeal, with tones of green, yellow, brown, black and gray. The engraving bears the inscription “Jacob Hauer Schmuzer” at lower right. Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) was a German publisher, writer and patron of the arts. His monumental “Bilderbuch für Kinder” (Picture Book for Children) was one of the great illustrated educational encyclopedias of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Published in Weimar from 1790 onward, it contained hundreds of finely engraved and hand-colored plates covering natural history, geography, science, technology, costumes and mythology.

Peter Robert Keil was born to an artist blacksmith father whom he lost very early in his childhood during the Second World War. During the end phase of the war, Keil's mother, also an artistically talented woman, took her son and struggled her way to West Berlin where they settled. This is where Peter Robert Keil grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Berlin-Wedding and where he discovered his interest in painting – particularly in expressionistic artists and in Pablo Picasso's work. From 1954 on, the East Berlin-based painter Otto Nagel...
