EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, Crotalus adamanteus, a venomous snake native to the southeastern United States. The illustration is taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles, published by F.G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830. The artwork was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The intricate detail of the engraving, executed by Massard under the direction of Turpin, showcases the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake's distinctive diamond-shaped patterns on its back, the iconic rattle at the end of its tail, and its triangular head. The snake is shown coiled on a rock, ready to strike, with a fish in its mouth. The Eastern diamondback rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in the US, reaching lengths of up to 8 feet. Its venom is potent and can cause severe pain, swelling, and even death in humans if left untreated. This beautiful and historically significant artwork is a testament to the natural history illustration techniques of the early 19th century.
