EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Martinique pit viper, also known as Bothrops lanceolatus. The French School artist skillfully captured the intricate details of this venomous serpent, highlighting its vibrant colors and distinctive markings. The Martinique pit viper, or fer de lance as it is commonly called, is a fascinating creature that can be found in the lush rainforests of Martinique. Its triangular-shaped head and sharp fangs make it a formidable predator in its natural habitat. Handcolored with precision and printed by F. Chardon from Achille Comtes Musee d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, this steel engraving brings to life the essence of herpetology and zoology during that era. Gustave Hazard's contribution to this masterpiece further solidifies its significance within the realm of natural history. As we delve into this illustration, we are reminded of both admiration for nature's wonders and caution towards these majestic creatures. The attention to detail showcased here allows us to appreciate their unique characteristics while respecting their potential danger. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from Fine Art Finder's collection. This print serves as a reminder that art not only captures moments but also educates us about our diverse wildlife heritage.
