🐢 The royal natural history London: F. Warne, 1893-1896. [Source]
Illustration from "The Royal Natural History" (1893-1896) depicting two soft river tortoises in a calm freshwater habitat. One tortoise is submerged, showing a detailed, textured dark shell with light spots and scaled limbs, while the other tortoise is closer to the bank, partially out of the water with a similarly patterned head and shell. The background includes grassy vegetation along the riverbank and a bird with a distinctive crest perched on a branch over the water. The scene highlights the tortoises' natural aquatic environment and characteristic shell markings.

Just a reminder, that possibly the oldest piece of palaeoart dates to the Neolithic. The petroglyphs of horned characters with trumpets, recorded on the same rock as a ornithischian footprints (Zagaje Formation) in Poland, might be an early reconstruction of the Jurassic tracemaker.
