EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Flying Lizard, Draco volans" takes us back to the 19th century when scientific exploration and natural history were at their peak. Created by an unknown European artist, this exquisite print showcases the incredible beauty of a unique creature - the flying lizard. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to marvel at the elegance of nature's design. The flying lizard, also known as Draco volans, is depicted mid-flight with its impressive wings spread wide. Its slender body and elongated tail give it a graceful appearance as it soars through the air. This artwork was originally featured in Louis Figuier's book "Reptiles and Birds" published in 1892. It serves as a testament to the scientific methods employed during that era to document and understand various species. The historical significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic value but also in its contribution to our knowledge of reptiles. As we gaze upon this enchanting illustration, we are reminded of our connection with wildlife animals and their place within our natural world. This print invites us into a realm where science meets artistry, allowing us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and scientific importance of these fascinating creatures. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history for all enthusiasts of fine art and natural history alike.
