EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases three distinct species of vipers: the Common European Viper (Vipera berus berus), the Asp (Vipera aspis), and the Indian Saw-scaled Viper (Echis carinatus). The intricate details of each snake are beautifully rendered, thanks to the skillful illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre and the meticulous engraving process. The Common European Viper, also known as the European Adder, is native to Europe and Western Asia. It is characterized by its zigzag pattern on its back, which helps it blend in with the leaves and twigs of its woodland habitat. This viper is a venomous snake, and its bite can cause severe pain, swelling, and necrosis. The Asp, or the Egyptian Viper, is a venomous snake native to the Mediterranean region and North Africa. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive hourglass-shaped markings on its back. The Asp's venom is potent and can cause symptoms such as paralysis, respiratory failure, and even death. The Indian Saw-scaled Viper, also known as the Saw-scaled Adder, is native to India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It is one of the most venomous snakes in the world and is named for the distinctive scales along its body, which can cause deep lacerations when the snake is threatened. Its venom can cause symptoms such as hemorrhage, kidney failure, and even death. This engraving is a stunning example of the natural history illustrations produced during the 19th century, providing a valuable record of these fascinating and often dangerous creatures. The intricate details of each snake's anatomy and distinctive markings are beautifully captured, making this a must-have for any natural history or herpetology collection.
