About This Item

Also with the original tissue-covered cotton insert to protect the relief. Some minor spots and scuffs to the frame. Slight damage to the paper backing of the frame not affecting the its integrity. Some wear to the box. Excellent condition. Uncommon, early-20th century anatomical relief of the European lizard species Lacerta agilis (the sand lizard, here called the fence lizard). The publisher's archive copy, in excellent condition in the original box. This relief was one of a series produced for schools, Vergleichende Anatomie der Wirbeltiere (Comparative Anatomy of the Vertebrates), designed by the German behavioural scientist and educational writer Bastian Schmid (1870-1944) for the major educational publisher J. F. Schreiber. They were published in co-operation with the Deutsche Hochbild-Gesellschaft (German Society for Relief Pictures), which published scientific relief pictures using a method analogous to the Wenschow Process. The printed paper label on the back gives the names of the lizards' body parts and also introduces the diagram, "In the lizard, the anatomical character of the reptiles is expressed in a clear manner. Therefore, a representative of this group, namely our well-known fence lizard, is presented as the fourth type in this series Comparative Anatomy of the Vertebrates...".
