Description
This colorful 1996 series showcases the diversity of the amphibian world, ranging from newts to exotic frogs. The designs by D. Vangelli feature great attention to the anatomical details of the animals, set against subtly sketched aquatic and terrestrial vegetation. The cool, blue-green background tones perfectly highlight the intense colors of the amphibians themselves.
