This print showcases an exquisite woodcut illustration of an Iguana from "la Historia general de las Indias" dating back to 1547. Created by Christopher Columbus, the renowned explorer himself, and based on the observations made during his voyages, this artwork is a true testament to the early encounters between Europe and the New World. The intricately detailed depiction of this reptile animal lizard transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the natural wonders discovered by Columbus and chronicled in his journal. The artist's skillful use of woodcut technique brings out every scale and contour with remarkable precision, capturing both the beauty and essence of this fascinating creature.
