EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Dequevauvilliers after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases three intriguing reptiles: the Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus), European Green Lizard (Lacerta viridis), and Sandfish or Skink (Scincus scincus). The Eastern Fence Lizard, native to North America, is depicted in the center of the image. Known for its distinctive fan-like display of bright blue skin under its white belly, this lizard is a popular sight in the eastern United States. Its undulating body, as suggested by its scientific name, is well-represented in this detailed engraving. To the left, the European Green Lizard grabs our attention with its vibrant green coloration. This reptile, native to Europe, is a master of camouflage in its natural habitat. Its long, slender body and distinct head shape are accurately portrayed in this engraving. The Sandfish or Skink, located on the right side of the image, is a fascinating desert-dwelling reptile native to North Africa and the Middle East. Its sandy coloration and elongated body, designed for burrowing, are beautifully rendered in this engraving. This stunning artwork is taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published in Paris in 1825. The intricate details and lifelike accuracy of the engraving provide a glimpse into the natural world of these fascinating reptiles, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery.
