EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases an Egyptian cobra, beautifully depicted by the French School. The print is part of a private collection and was originally published in "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" between 1833 and 1839. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the elegance and mystique of this venomous snake. Its slender body coils gracefully, while its hooded head stands tall with mesmerizing eyes that seem to hold secrets from ancient times. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth and realism to every scale, making it truly enchanting. Surrounded by other fascinating creatures such as beetles, European hamsters, and maybugs, this illustration offers a glimpse into the diverse world of reptiles, insects, and mammals. It reminds us of the interconnectedness of all living beings on our planet. The historical significance of this artwork is evident not only in its age but also in its contribution to scientific knowledge during that period. Published by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville, it served as a valuable resource for those interested in studying natural history. As we admire this exquisite print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders throughout time.
