EDITORS COMMENTS
LS Plate 101 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China (1774-1856) presents a captivating lateral view of an Asian reptile, meticulously illustrated by John Reeves. This plate, a valuable addition to the extensive collection, showcases the intricate details of the reptile's carapace and plastron, essential components of its protective shell. John Reeves, a British artist and naturalist, created this illustration during the nineteenth century while residing in Canton, China. His work, which includes over 2,000 drawings of Asian animals, has significantly contributed to the fields of herpetology and zoology. The sauropsid reptile depicted in this plate belongs to the order Cryptodira, characterized by their concealed claws and beaked or hooked snouts. The lateral view of this Asian reptile reveals its unique features, such as the elongated tail and the distinct pattern on its scales. The plate's title, "LS Plate 101," suggests that it is one of many illustrations in a larger series, possibly part of a comprehensive catalog or study of Asian reptiles during the time. The meticulous attention to detail in the drawing, from the precise rendering of the scales to the accurate representation of the animal's anatomy, underscores Reeves' expertise and dedication to his work. This stunning illustration not only serves as a testament to John Reeves' artistic prowess but also offers valuable insights into the natural history of Asian reptiles during the nineteenth century. The John Reeves Collection continues to be an essential resource for researchers, students, and enthusiasts of herpetology and zoology, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of Asia during an era of significant scientific discovery.
