EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 97" from the John Reeves Collection (Zoology) is a stunning nineteenth century illustration showcasing a lateral view of an Asian reptile, likely belonging to the order Sauropsida and the suborder Cryptodira. The intricately detailed drawing, executed with great precision, depicts the reptile's hard carapace and plastron, which provide protection for its vital organs. John Reeves, the English naturalist and artist, created this illustration during the 19th century while serving as a surgeon in Canton, China. Reeves was an avid collector and illustrator of Asian fauna, and his collection, which includes over 300 plates, is now housed in the Natural History Museum in London. This particular plate, with its lateral view of the reptile, offers a unique perspective, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate patterns and textures of the animal's shell. The reptile's elongated body and distinct head shape are also clearly visible, making it an invaluable addition to any herpetology or zoology collection. The plate is adorned with the label "Reptilia," indicating its subject matter, and is framed by an elegant border. The high-quality print retains its original vibrancy and clarity, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the natural history of Asia or the work of John Reeves. Overall, "Plate 97" from the John Reeves Collection (Zoology) is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and a reminder of the important role that naturalists like John Reeves played in documenting and preserving it for future generations.
