This reproduction of a naturalist illustration is taken from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny. The plate features two species of snakes, Duvaucel's eryth and Levin's boa, represented with great anatomical precision in their respective environments, between sandy soil and woody vegetation.
The original work, published between 1841 and 1849, fits into the tradition of large 19th-century encyclopedic enterprises. The drawing highlights the texture of the scales and the morphology of the reptiles, reflecting the ambition for scientific synthesis and pedagogical clarity that animated d'Orbigny and his collaborators.
This iconographic document is intended for herpetology enthusiasts and collectors of ancient scientific images. Used in wall decoration, this illustration brings a historical and documentary dimension to any workspace or cabinet of curiosities.
