EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of two unique reptiles, the common flying dragon and the two-horned chameleon. Created by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true work of art. The common flying dragon, also known as Draco volans or Dragon de Java, takes center stage with its vibrant colors and intricate details. Its outstretched wings are a testament to its ability to glide through the air gracefully. Beside it stands the two-horned chameleon, scientifically named Furcifer bifidus or Chameleon forcuto. With its distinctive horns and textured skin, this creature exudes an air of mystery. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration is a valuable contribution to our understanding of these fascinating creatures. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's skillful direction brings these reptiles to life on paper. Turpin himself is hailed as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. His attention to detail and precision shine through in every stroke captured on this print. Whether you're an enthusiast for science or simply appreciate fine art, this print from Bridgeman Images will undoubtedly captivate your imagination with its depiction of nature's wonders.
