Frogs
Description
Maximilian recorded in his journal that on August 7, during an outing along the Lehigh River, several bullfrogs were captured and that "Mr. Bodmer made a sketch of two of them." He explained that such lively specimens were tied down with strings to hold them in position while Bodmer executed his careful studies.
