Diversity in Carapace: A Study of Turtle Patterns and Colors, 1845
Located in Langweer, NL
This print depicts three turtles, each with distinct patterns and colors on their shells and skin: 1. **Top Turtle**: This turtle has a relatively dark shell with light markings that emphasize the ridges of the scutes (the individual plates that make up the turtle's carapace or shell). The plastron (the belly part of the shell) appears to be lightly colored with dark seams. The skin of the turtle is striped with light and dark bands, suggesting a pattern that may help with camouflage or identification among species. 2. **Bottom Left Turtle (labeled 'a')**: This specimen has a shell with a more vibrant green color and bold, light-colored markings. The plastron is red with a symmetrical pattern, which is quite distinctive. This coloration may be characteristic of a particular species or could be an artistic interpretation to highlight anatomical details. 3. **Bottom Right Turtle (labeled 'b')**: The shell of this turtle is green with a lighter central area and dark borders on the scutes, while the plastron is a contrasting red with a white pattern. The green color extends to the skin, with lighter stripes on the limbs. The print shows illustrations of turtles, and it seems to label them as "Emys picta" and "Emyde peinte," which could refer to painted turtles...
