Set of Two Antique Prints, Flying Squirrel, Blue-Tail Lizard by Catesby '1777'
About the Item
The set of two antique prints includes 'Sciurus volans, Guajacana' featuring a flying squirrel and 'Lacertus cauda coerulea, Anona fructa viridi loevi Pyri inversi forma,' depicting a blue-tail lizard. These prints are sourced from 'Piscium, serpentum, insectorum, aliorumque nonnullorum animalum nec non plantarum quarundam imagines (..)' authored by Mark Catesby.
Mark Catesby, an English naturalist, is known for his extensive work in documenting the flora and fauna of North America. These prints are part of his comprehensive collection portraying various animal and plant species. The first print displays a flying squirrel ('Sciurus volans, Guajacana'), while the second showcases a blue-tail lizard ('Lacertus cauda coerulea, Anona fructa viridi loevi Pyri inversi forma').
These antique prints represent Catesby's detailed illustrations, providing a visual record of diverse species encountered during his explorations. They offer a glimpse into the scientific and artistic contributions made by Catesby to the study of natural history during the 18th century.
