EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Sceloporus asper, commonly known as the spiny lizard. The artwork originates from the esteemed Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London in 1897 and is now proudly displayed in the renowned Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum in London. The intricate drawing beautifully captures every detail of this remarkable reptile. Its vibrant green scales shimmer with a mesmerizing intensity, making it truly stand out among its peers. As a member of the squamata order within reptiles, this spiny lizard belongs to a diverse group that includes snakes and other lizards. Belonging to the phrynosomatidae family, Sceloporus asper possesses unique characteristics that set it apart within its species. With its distinct spiky appearance and textured skin, this creature perfectly embodies resilience and adaptability—traits often associated with reptiles. As part of the larger classification system, this particular specimen falls under diapsida—a group encompassing various scaled reptiles such as crocodilians and birds. Within diapsids, lepidosaurs like Sceloporus asper are characterized by their overlapping scales and elongated bodies. The presence of this striking illustration serves not only to captivate visitors but also to educate them about these fascinating creatures' diversity and importance within our natural world. It stands testament to both scientific exploration during Victorian times and ongoing efforts by institutions like Mary Evans Prints Online to preserve historical records for future generations.
