EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1935, in Silver Springs, Florida. The image showcases a daring act of extracting venom from a rattlesnake at the renowned Florida Reptile Institute. Every Sunday afternoon, skilled handlers would fearlessly milk Diamond-Back Rattlesnakes for their potent venom. The photograph zooms in on the intense moment as an expert cautiously holds the snake's head while delicately manipulating its fangs. These fangs, resembling hollow hypodermic needles, are capable of delivering deadly poison with just one strike. However, instead of being feared, this venom is collected for valuable medical purposes. Snake venom has long been recognized for its potential therapeutic properties and is used extensively in medicine. This fascinating process of extraction not only highlights human ingenuity but also our ability to harness nature's most potent substances for healing purposes. The composition captures both the danger and precision involved in this procedure. The tension between man and reptile is palpable as they engage in this delicate dance that could mean life or death if mishandled. Printed using lithographic techniques, this historic image offers a glimpse into an era when scientific exploration intersected with natural wonders. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ability to find beauty even within the most dangerous creatures nature has to offer.
