EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the intricate design of Alfred Waterhouse's Smooth-necked Iguana drawing, created for the ornamentation of London's Natural History Museum during the Victorian era. Waterhouse, an English architect, designed the museum in the 1860s, and it opened its doors on Easter Monday 1881. The museum's interior is adorned with exquisite natural history illustrations, including this stunning representation of a Smooth-necked Iguana. The Iguana is a member of the Iguanidae family, which belongs to the larger order of Squamata, or scaled reptiles. The Iguania suborder, to which the Smooth-necked Iguana belongs, is characterized by their elongated bodies, four legs, and a long, bifid (Y-shaped) tongue. This particular species, with its smooth neck, is native to Central America and the Caribbean. Waterhouse's drawing is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era. The 19th century was a time of great scientific discovery and exploration, and the Natural History Museum, with its impressive collection of specimens and illustrations, was a symbol of this fascination with the natural world. The Smooth-necked Iguana drawing is a beautiful example of the ornamentation that can be found throughout the museum. Its intricate details, from the scales on the iguana's body to the delicate veins on its leaves, showcase the skill and artistry of the Victorian illustrators. This drawing is not only a work of art but also a valuable historical record of the natural world as it was understood during the 19th century.
