EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty and danger of Bungarum Pamah, a venomous snake found on the coast of Coromandel. Published in 1796 as part of an account on Indian serpents, this hand-coloured engraving by William Skelton showcases the intricate details of this striped colubrid species. The image reveals a fast-moving serpent with its sleek body coiled in a striking pose. Its vibrant stripes add to its allure while serving as a warning sign for potential predators. This Welang snake, also known as a racer or coluber, belongs to the boa family and possesses potent venom that makes it one of nature's most formidable creatures. As we delve into the world of herpetology through this photograph, we are reminded of both the awe-inspiring diversity and inherent dangers present in our natural environment. The skillful artistry employed in this engraving allows us to appreciate every scale and contour, bringing us closer to understanding these enigmatic reptiles.

It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were captivated by wildlife and sought knowledge about their habits and characteristics. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection today, this historic print continues to fascinate viewers with its timeless depiction of Bungarum Pamah – forever preserving both its beauty and treacherous nature for generations to come.
