EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The slow-worm" showcases the exquisite work of an English School artist from the 19th century. The print, now part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for J G Wood's book, "The Handy Natural History" published by the Religious Tract Society in 1886. In this stunning depiction of wildlife, we are transported to a time when scientific exploration and natural history were at their peak. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring to life the elusive slow-worm, a fascinating creature that is often mistaken for a snake due to its long slender body. Through careful strokes and meticulous attention to detail, the artist has managed to convey both the gracefulness and mystique of this enigmatic animal. Its coiled form seems ready to spring into action at any moment while its smooth scales shimmer under our gaze. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry from the early 19th century, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders. This engraving serves as a testament not only to our curiosity about animals but also as a celebration of science and natural history. Bridgeman Images' acquisition of this print ensures that future generations can continue appreciating and exploring these historical treasures.
