EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving, created by Goulu after an illustration by Oudart for the Universal Dictionary of Natural History by Charles d'Orbigny, published in Paris in 1849, showcases two captivating snakes, the Brown Sand Boa (Eryx johnii, formerly known as E. duvaucelii) and the Boa Constrictor. The Brown Sand Boa, a small, non-venomous snake native to Africa, is depicted coiled on the sandy ground, its body blending seamlessly with the surroundings. With its elongated body and smooth, brown scales, this snake is perfectly camouflaged, making it an expert hunter in its desert habitat. In contrast, the Boa Constrictor, a large, powerful constricting snake native to Central and South America, is shown with its distinctive patterned body coiled around a tree trunk. Known for its ability to constrict its prey, this snake uses its muscular body to squeeze the life out of its victim before consuming it whole. The intricate detail in this engraving highlights the unique features of both snakes, from their scales to their distinct markings. The Universal Dictionary of Natural History, published by Charles d'Orbigny, was a comprehensive reference work that documented various aspects of the natural world, including a vast array of animals. This engraving, with its beautiful handcoloring, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the advanced scientific knowledge of the time. The 19th century was a period of great discovery and exploration in the field of herpetology, and this engraving serves as a reminder of the fascination and curiosity that drove naturalists to document and study the natural world.
