EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured engraving depicts the iconic Naja naja, also known as the spectacled cobra or Indian cobra. Belonging to the Elapidae family, this venomous snake is a member of the larger superorder Caenophidia, which includes advanced, fully-formed snakes. The spectacled cobra is a diapsid reptile, meaning it has two openings for its nostrils and two eye sockets, and is further classified as a sauropsid, a reptile with a backbone and a body covered in scales. The spectacled cobra is native to Africa and Southern Asia, and is known for its distinctive hooded appearance. The snake's name comes from the distinctive black markings around its eyes, which resemble spectacles. The snake can grow up to 1.8 meters in length and is a skilled hunter, preying on rodents, birds, and other small animals. This beautiful illustration is from the Patrick Russell Collection, a significant historical archive of natural history prints. Russell was a Scottish surgeon, naturalist, and artist, who traveled extensively throughout India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, documenting the natural history of the region through his detailed illustrations. This particular engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to Russell's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The spectacled cobra has held a place of significance in various cultures throughout history, and is often depicted in religious and mythological texts. Its venomous bite is dangerous to humans, and the snake is considered a major public health concern in areas where it is found. Despite this, the spectacled cobra continues to fascinate and intrigue scientists and naturalists alike, and remains an important subject of study in the field of herpetology.
