EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century illustration, titled "Jew Lizard, Bid de wang" and drawn by Thomas Watling between 1792 and 1797, showcases the captivating details of Pogona barbata, the Common or Eastern Bearded Dragon. Watling's masterful depiction is part of the esteemed Watling Collection, housed in the Jackson Collection at the Natural History Museum in London. Originally native to eastern Australia, this Agamid lizard is a member of the family Agamidae, order Agamida, and suborder Agaminae. The Eastern Bearded Dragon is a diapsid reptile, belonging to the larger group Lepidosauria, which includes the iguania, a diverse group of reptiles characterized by their scaly skin and the presence of a bearded dewlap under their throat. The dragon's intricate scales, textured skin, and expressive eyes are beautifully rendered in this drawing. The dragon's distinctive feature, the bearded dewlap, is prominently displayed, providing a striking contrast against its otherwise uniform body color. The dragon's curve and fleet pose, with its body arched and tail curved, adds to the dynamic energy of the illustration. Thomas Watling's "Jew Lizard, Bid de wang" is a testament to the natural world's beauty and the artistic skill of the 18th century. This illustration not only serves as a valuable historical record but also as an inspiration for those who appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistry of the past.
