EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Monitors and Lizards," is an exquisite illustration from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1823. The engraving showcases an intriguing assemblage of various monitor lizards and lizards, including the Nile Monitor (Varanus niloticus, 1), the Bengal Monitor (Varanus bengalensis, 2), the Asian Grass Lizard (Takydromus sexlineatus, 3), the Jacky Lizard (Amphibolurus muricatus, 4), and the Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei). The Nile Monitor, native to Africa, is depicted with its powerful jaws open, showcasing its sharp teeth. The Bengal Monitor, originating from South Asia, is illustrated with its distinctive crested head and long, slender body. The Asian Grass Lizard, native to Southeast Asia, is shown in a more subtle pose, blending in with the grass. The Jacky Lizard, native to Australia, is depicted with its distinctive spines along its back, while the Brown Anole, native to the Caribbean, is shown with its colorful dewlap. Additionally, the engraving includes the Tupinambis Tegux (Tupinambis teguixin, not visible in this image), the Agama Agama (Agama agama), and the Jackson's Chameleon (Chamaeleo jacksonii, not visible in this image). This engraving not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also provides an early record of the natural history of these fascinating reptiles. The intricate details of this engraving, combined with the vibrant hand-coloring, make it a captivating piece that transports us back in time to the early 19th century and invites us to explore the natural world.
