Botanical board - Iguana

This print is a reproduction of an illustration by Mark Catesby (1683-1749), from his work " The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands ," published in 1734. It depicts an iguana , named on the poster with the Latin term " Lacertus Indicus ," accompanied by the plant designated as "Anena maxima." Although this designation does not correspond to a modern botanical classification that can be identified with certainty, the plant is depicted with distinctive leaves and fruit, characteristic of the tropical environments where iguanas live.

The illustration highlights the interactions between fauna and flora, capturing botanical and zoological details with remarkable precision. True to the 18th-century naturalist spirit, this vintage artwork combines scientific accuracy with artistic aesthetics. It is ideal for enriching your interior decor with a touch of retro elegance, while celebrating the timeless harmony between the fauna and flora of the past.
