This reproduction of a 19th-century naturalist plate precisely illustrates two reptile specimens: the Common Rattlesnake and the Horned Cerastes. Taken from a reference encyclopedic corpus, the engraving highlights the details of the scales and the characteristic postures of these snakes in a sober and academic composition typical of the period.
The original work is extracted from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, directed by Charles d'Orbigny between 1841 and 1849. This monumental work is recognized for the exceptional quality of its illustrations, produced by the best naturalist draftsmen of the mid-century to scientifically document world fauna.
Intended for herpetology and antique print enthusiasts, this illustration constitutes a historical document on the study of ophidians. It fits perfectly into a collection environment or a thematic decoration focused on natural sciences and the exploration of the animal world.
