EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Lyreshead Lizard and Mophead Iguana," is a stunning example of the naturalistic illustrations found in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," or "Dictionary of Natural Science," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi, with drawings by Jean Gabriel Pretre and direction by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The engraving features two intriguing reptiles: the Lyreshead Lizard (Lyriocephalus scutatus) and the Mophead Iguana, also known as the Diving Iguana or the Mop-tailed Iguana (Uranoscodon superciliosus). The Lyreshead Lizard, also known as the Broad-tailed Phyllurus or the New Holland Gecko, is depicted with its distinctive lyre-shaped crest on its head, as well as its long, broad tail. The Mophead Iguana, native to the Caribbean, is shown with its distinctive mop-like tail and the distinctive white markings above its eyes. Turpin, the director of this illustration, was a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. His meticulous attention to detail and naturalistic style are evident in this engraving. The background of the image features intricate, textured patterns, adding to the overall beauty and depth of the illustration. This image offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the intricate details and unique characteristics of these fascinating reptiles. The Lyreshead Lizard and Mophead Iguana continue to captivate and inspire us with their unique appearances and the rich history they represent in the annals of herpetology and natural science.
