EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created between 1816 and 1830, showcases three intriguing reptiles: the Jacky lashtail, Amphibolurus muricatus, and the Cape dwarf gecko, Lygodactylus capensis. The illustration is taken from the esteemed "Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles" by Jussieu, and was produced under the artistic direction of Turpin, with engraving by Massard and painting by Jean Gabriel Pretre. Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History, expertly captured the unique characteristics of these creatures. The Jacky lashtail, a native of Australia, is depicted with its distinctive long, lashtail, used as a defense mechanism against predators. The Cape dwarf gecko, indigenous to South Africa, is shown with its elongated toes, an adaptation that allows it to cling to smooth surfaces. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also provides a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century. The intricate details, brought to life through the stipple engraving technique, highlight the beauty and diversity of these fascinating creatures. The Jacky lashtail and Cape dwarf gecko, along with other species, were essential additions to the growing body of knowledge in the field of natural history during this era. This exquisite piece is a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
