Zonurus warreni - Historical Lithograph from Annals of the Natal Government Museum #2272959 (License: Personal Use)

This 1870s lithograph by A.H. Searle depicts Zonurus warreni (now reclassified as Cordylus warreni), a southern African spiny lizard, with meticulous attention to scale patterns, limb morphology, and dorsal osteoderms. The illustration appears in Plate XXXV of Volume I of the Annals of the Natal Government Museum, printed by J. Green, reflecting Victorian-era scientific documentation standards. Its precise linework and anatomical fidelity make it a valuable historical reference for taxonomic and morphological studies.

Used in academic, museum, and biodiversity web pages to illustrate historical taxonomy, species descriptions, or the evolution of scientific illustration; serves users seeking authoritative visual references for Cordylidae lizards or 19th-century natural history publications.
