EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Flying dragon, Draco volans, basking on a rock" transports us to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of natural history. Created by William Daniell in 1807 as part of his work for William Wood's Zoography, this exquisite piece showcases the beauty and wonder of wildlife. The image depicts a stunning scene where a flying dragon, scientifically known as Draco volans, gracefully perches on a rock. The lizard-like creature spreads its wings wide open, creating an awe-inspiring sight against the backdrop of lush landscapes. Its vibrant colors and intricate details are skillfully captured through Daniell's engraving technique.
