EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of two gecko species, the House gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) and the broad-tailed gecko (Phyllurus platurus). The image, captured by Carini in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali. The House gecko, also known as "gecko des maisons" or "hemidactylus frenatus" is depicted with its vibrant green skin and distinctive markings. Its slender body and large eyes give it an elegant appearance that perfectly complements its agile nature. On the other hand, we have the broad-tailed gecko, referred to as "phyllure de la nouvelle hollande" or "phyllurus platurus". This species stands out with its unique flattened tail and intricate patterns on its back. The artistic rendering of these reptiles highlights their natural allure while providing valuable scientific information. Created by renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration exemplifies his mastery in capturing intricate details and lifelike textures. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this print serves as a testament to Turpin's contribution to natural history documentation during the 19th century. It remains a treasured piece for enthusiasts of herpetology and admirers of exquisite art alike.
