Antique Scientific Plate of Reptiles and Snakes by d'Orbigny

Reproduction of a scientific plate featuring three species of snake-like reptiles: the Fumed Amphisbaena, the Uropeltis, and the Typhlops. This herpetological study is taken from the encyclopedic dictionary of Charles d'Orbigny.
The rigorous composition exposes the specimens in various postures to illustrate their specific morphology. The use of strong contrasts emphasizes the anatomical precision sought by 19th-century naturalist engravers to document the orders of Amphisbaenians and Ophidians.
Ideal for a decor focused on natural history, this antique illustration fits perfectly into a cabinet of curiosities. It allows for a detailed observation of animal forms often little known through the prism of ancient science.

About this print
The layout and composition of this reproduction have been the subject of our greatest attention.
- Respect for the format of the original work: in order to faithfully transcribe the artist's intention, the work is not cropped/re-cut except in extreme cases (obvious imperfection, geometry problem, etc.) in which case the cropping will be as light as possible.
- The presence of white margins is sometimes necessary in order to present the work in a balanced manner.
- Each size offered has been specifically composed, therefore, the size of the white margins may vary from one print size to another. Remember to check this detail carefully!
