EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Toad-headed Agama, Phrynocephalus mystaceus mystaceus, also known as the Lobe-cheeked Agama or the Toad-headed Lacerta. The illustration was drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder and published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1803. The Toad-headed Agama is a species of agamid lizard native to North Africa. They are characterized by their distinctive head, which resembles that of a toad, with large, bulging eyes and prominent, lobed cheeks. This adaptation helps to camouflage the lizard among the rocks and sandy terrain of its arid habitat. The Toad-headed Agama is an omnivorous species, feeding on a variety of vegetation, fruits, and insects. They are known to be territorial and display complex courtship behaviors, including head bobbing and color changes. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of natural history illustration during the early 19th century. It provides a valuable record of the Toad-headed Agama, contributing to the scientific understanding of this fascinating species and its natural history.
