EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) in 1837, showcases two intriguing snake species: the Ring-necked Spitting Cobra (Hemachatus haemachatus) and the Martinique Lancehead (Bothrops lanceolatus). The Ring-necked Spitting Cobra, also known as the Carinatus or Fer de Lance, is a highly venomous snake native to Madagascar. It is named for the distinctive ring around its neck and the ability to eject venom from its fangs up to three meters (10 feet) to deter predators or attack from a distance. The Martinique Lancehead, also known as the Langaha or Pointed-nosed Viper, is a venomous snake native to the Caribbean islands, specifically Martinique and Guadeloupe. It is characterized by its zigzag body pattern, triangular head, and leaf-shaped fangs. The illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. Turpin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate stipple engraving technique used to create the lifelike textures of the snakes' scales. The illustration also includes the scientific names of each species, as well as common names and alternate names in various languages. This beautiful and historically significant image is a testament to the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 19th century. It is a must-have for any collection of herpetology, reptile, or natural history prints.
