Mythological Salamander Drawing

Salamanders prefer to make their homes in half-rotted wood. When ancient peoples burned this wood and observed the salamanders emerging from the fire, they thought these amphibians were mythical creatures being born in the fire.

If you look closely at this vintage penciled-drawing of a salamander appearing quite please with himself, he is contentedly sitting upon a log that appears to be smoking.

With or without the mythology, this vintage drawing is charming and unique making it a great choice for your next creative project.

Artist: Oliver Herford (1863-1935)

Image Appears In: The Mythological Zoo

Date Image Published: 1912
