EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copper engraving by Frederick Polydor Nodder captures the intricate beauty of a False coral snake, also known as a pipe snake. Published in 1790 by George Shaw as part of his naturalist collection, this hand-colored illustration showcases the vibrant colors and distinctive markings of this elusive serpent.
The False coral snake is often mistaken for its venomous counterpart due to its similar appearance, but it is actually harmless to humans. Its striking red, black, and white bands serve as a warning to potential predators that it should not be trifled with.
Nodder's attention to detail in this engraving brings the False coral snake to life on paper, highlighting every scale and curve of its slender body. The delicate shading and precise lines demonstrate his skill as both an artist and an engraver.
As part of Shaw's "Naturalist's Miscellany," this print would have been used to educate and inspire curiosity about the wonders of the natural world. Even today, over two centuries later, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
Whether you are a lover of snakes or simply appreciate fine art, this exquisite print is sure to make a striking addition to any collection.
