EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Green Thornytail Iguana, Uracentron azureum, also known as the Azure Lizard or Lacerta azurea. The engraving is based on an illustration by the renowned English naturalist and artist, Dr. George Shaw, from his comprehensive work, "General Zoology, Amphibia," published in London in 1801. The Green Thornytail Iguana is a small species of iguana native to Central America, specifically in the Caribbean region and parts of South America. They are characterized by their bright green coloration, which is particularly striking in this engraving, and their distinctive spiny tail, which is covered in small, sharp scales. These spines are used as a defense mechanism against predators. The intricate engraving technique used to create this print highlights the intricate details of the Green Thornytail Iguana's scales, which are depicted in various shades of green, as well as its long, slender body and delicate limbs. The engraving also captures the iguana's expressive eyes, which are depicted with a lifelike intensity that brings the creature to life. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, and serves as an important record of the natural world during the early days of herpetology and the study of reptiles. The Green Thornytail Iguana may be a small creature, but its beauty and intricacy are captured in this magnificent print, making it a true work of art.
