EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1928, where we find ourselves in the presence of a vulnerable Sailfin Lizard at London Zoo. The image, captured by Frederick William Bond, showcases the exquisite details of this rare creature with remarkable clarity. The lizard's head is beautifully framed within the composition, allowing us to observe its unique features up close. Its sleek body and intricate scales are reminiscent of an ancient reptilian lineage that has stood the test of time. With a side view perspective, we can appreciate the elegant curvature of its sail-like fin extending along its spine. This particular species is known as the Philippine Sail Finned Lizard or Hydrosaurus pustulatus. Native to the Philippines, it belongs to the Agamidae family and holds significant historical value for zoologists and enthusiasts alike. Bond's skillful photography captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys a sense of vulnerability emanating from this magnificent creature. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting endangered species like these lizards whose existence hangs precariously in balance. Displayed against a timeless black and white backdrop, this print evokes nostalgia while highlighting both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on our role in safeguarding these fragile creatures for future generations to cherish and admire.
