EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Amboina Sailfin Lizard, Hydrosaurus amboinensis, a unique and captivating reptile native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The illustration is taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles, published by F.G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830. The artwork was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The Amboina Sailfin Lizard, also known as Hippolyte or Cloquet's Lizard, is a fish-like reptile with elongated, sail-like fins on its back, which it uses to swim in the water. This lizard is adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, and is found in the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The illustration captures the lizard's intricate scales, vibrant colors, and the delicate details of its fins and tail. The engraving was executed by the skilled hands of Massard, under the direction of Turpin. The use of the stipple technique, a method that involves the application of small dots of ink to create shading and texture, adds to the intricacy and detail of the illustration. The handcoloring further enhances the natural beauty of the lizard, bringing out its vibrant colors and making it a true work of art. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the remarkable natural history discoveries of the past, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world around us.
