EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two unique lizard species, the Lyreshead lizard and the diving lizard. The Lyreshead lizard, scientifically known as Lyriocephalus scutatus 1, is a stunning creature with its distinct lyre-shaped head and intricate markings. Its counterpart, the diving lizard or mophead iguana (Uranoscodon superciliosus 2), mesmerizes with its striking appearance and prominent eyebrows. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true work of art. It was featured in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The illustration was skillfully drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of France's most celebrated botanical illustrators during that era. The level of detail and precision depicted in this print highlights not only the artistic talent involved but also serves as a valuable resource for scientific study. This image transports us back to a time when natural history exploration was at its peak, shedding light on our understanding of reptiles and herpetology. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection titled "Lyreshead Lizard" with utmost pride. It stands as an emblematic representation of science merging seamlessly with artistry to capture nature's wonders for generations to come.
