EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a Monitor Lizard, Varanus species, a large and impressive reptile native to Africa and Asia. The intricate detail in this illustration, created by Johann Christoph Keller and engraved by Andreas Hoffer, is a testament to the meticulous workmanship of the time. The Monitor Lizard is known for its powerful build, long tail, and keen intelligence, making it a formidable predator in its natural habitat. This illustration was originally published in Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, or Delights of Rare Natural Curiosities, in 1771. The work was part of a series of natural history publications produced by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg. The Monitor Lizard was likely a prized addition to the Wunderkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities, of P.L. Muller. The Wunderkammer was a popular form of private collection during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, showcasing a diverse array of natural and artificial objects, often arranged according to their rarity or exoticism. The Monitor Lizard, with its distinctive appearance and impressive size, would have been a fitting addition to such a collection. Today, this beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the fascination and wonder that natural history elicited during the 18th century, and the important role that art and science played in documenting and preserving the natural world.
