EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Snake, 1833-39" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist and now held in a private collection, this print showcases the incredible attention to detail and skill of its creator. Part of a larger work called "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville, this engraving depicts various reptiles and birds. The focus here is on the snake, beautifully rendered with vibrant colors that bring it to life on paper. The intricate lines and delicate shading capture every scale and curve of the serpent's body. Its coiled position suggests both power and grace, while its piercing eyes seem to hold a mysterious allure. This artwork not only celebrates the beauty of wildlife but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in natural history. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this image has transcended time through its enduring appeal. As we gaze upon this exquisite illustration today, we are reminded of the timeless fascination humans have had with these enigmatic creatures throughout history. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for us to appreciate this historical gem once again. Through their efforts in preserving fine art prints like this one, they enable us to connect with our past while celebrating the artistic achievements that continue to inspire
