EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 102 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China (1774-1856): A Graceful Illustration of a Group of Asian Lizards This exquisite plate, number 102 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, showcases a captivating group of Asian reptiles. Dating from the late 18th to the mid-19th century, this collection is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Asia during this period. The illustration on Plate 102 features several graceful lizards, belonging to the Squamata order, which includes all living lizards, snakes, and their allies. The Sauropsida classification, to which these reptiles belong, includes all descendants of the last common ancestor of reptiles and birds. The lizards depicted in this illustration are part of the Lacertilia suborder, characterized by their ability to move their eyelids, and the Lepidosauria infraorder, which includes scaled reptiles. The specific identities of these lizards are not explicitly stated in the plate's title, adding to the intrigue and mystery of this historical document. John Reeves, a British artist and naturalist, created this illustration during his time in Canton, China. Reeves' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike depiction of the lizards' scales, textures, and postures. The grouping of these reptiles in the illustration suggests that they were observed in their natural habitat, providing valuable insights into their behavior and social structures. Plate 102 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, is an essential resource for researchers and enthusiasts of herpetology, Asian biodiversity, and the history of natural history illustration. Its graceful composition and intriguing subject matter continue to captivate viewers and inspire new discoveries.
