Antique print titled '1. Iguane tuberculeux, 2. Lezard vert. Original old print of a green iguana (a large lizard) and the European green lizard. This print originates from 'Dictionnaire universel d'Histoire Naturelle' by d'Orbigny. Published 1861.

Charles Henry Dessalines d'Orbigny was a French botanist and geologist specializing in the Tertiary of France. At the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, d'Orbigny identified many of the flowering plant species returned to France from his brother's natural history collecting journeys through South America.
