EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and danger of two venomous snakes, the Ring-necked spitting cobra and the Martinique lancehead. The intricate details in this illustration, from the scales to the fangs, are a testament to the skill of artist J.G. Pretre and engraver Madame Massard.
The Ring-necked spitting cobra, also known as Hemachatus haemachatus, is known for its ability to spit venom at threats up to 8 feet away with remarkable accuracy. Its striking red markings on its neck serve as a warning sign to predators and humans alike.
On the other hand, the Martinique lancehead, or Bothrops lanceolatus, is a highly venomous pit viper found in Martinique and nearby islands. Its triangular-shaped head gives it its distinctive name "trigonocephale spearhead," emphasizing its deadly capabilities.
This print from Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" provides an educational insight into these fascinating reptiles that inhabit our world. It serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and complexity, showcasing both beauty and danger in equal measure. A true masterpiece that highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect these incredible creatures for future generations to admire from afar.
