This print showcases the majestic Spectacled Caiman, scientifically known as Caiman crocodilus. Captured by the French School in the 19th century, this handcoloured steel engraving is a true masterpiece that highlights the intricate details of this remarkable reptile. Also referred to as Alligator or White Caiman, this species is commonly found in various regions and holds a significant place in zoology and natural history. The artist's skillful use of colors brings out the unique speckled patterns on its skin, making it an eye-catching illustration for any admirer of wildlife. Printed by F. Chardon from Achille Comtes Musee d'Histoire Naturelle under Gustave Hazard's supervision in Paris back in 1854, this artwork represents a moment frozen in time.
