EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Amethystine python, also known as the scrub python (Simalia amethistina). The image, taken by Corsi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The Amethystine python's vibrant colors and intricate patterns are beautifully captured in this illustration. It highlights the snake's unique characteristics and serves as a testament to the talent of Jean Gabriel Pretre, who skillfully drew it under Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction. Turpin himself was renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. His attention to detail brings out every aspect of this remarkable creature. As you gaze at this print, you can almost feel its presence and appreciate its natural beauty. Beyond its visual appeal, this artwork holds scientific significance too. It belongs to a collection that explores various aspects of botany and natural history. This particular piece sheds light on an edible plant species associated with the Amethystine python's habitat.
