EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the South American rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus, a venomous pit viper native to Central and South America. The image is based on an illustration from nature by Johann Christoph Keller, as featured in Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. The serpent is shown coiled menacingly, its iconic rattle prominently displayed. The South American rattlesnake, also known as the sidewinder rattlesnake due to its unique sidewinding locomotion, is a highly venomous reptile capable of delivering a potent neurotoxic and hemotoxic bite. Its vibrant colors and distinctive markings served as intriguing curiosities in the natural world, making it a popular addition to Wunderkammern or Cabinets of Curiosities, such as that of Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew in Nuremberg. This engraving, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The artistry and scientific accuracy of the illustration allow us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this fascinating creature, while also serving as a reminder of the important role that natural history collections played in the development of our understanding of the natural world.
