This vibrant and intricately detailed print showcases a diverse array of native reptile species, each one rendered with exquisite colour and precision. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque river bank, the reptiles are depicted in their natural habitats, adding an element of authenticity to the scene. The illustration, which measures 21 x 15 centimeters, is a testament to the exceptional illustrative skills of the artist of the time. Boys Own magazine, a popular British publication, was renowned for its high-quality illustrations and educational content. This particular print, with its historical significance and rich detail, is a prime example of the magazine's commitment to providing its readers with accurate and engaging information.
