This naturalist plate features two snakes, the Euroste of Dussumier and the leaden Euroste, in a rigorous scientific composition. The main illustration, showing a coiled specimen, is completed by two anatomical studies of the head, offering front and top views. The precise line and faithful colors, dominated by shades of brown and black, underline the documentary vocation of this print.
Taken from the work Erpétologie générale ou Histoire naturelle complète des reptiles, published between 1834 and 1840 by André-Marie-Constant Duméril, this illustration is a precious testimony to 19th-century herpetology. It illustrates the classification of Ophidians with accuracy and graphic quality characteristic of the major encyclopedic enterprises of the era.
This reproduction is aimed at enthusiasts of natural history, collectors of scientific engravings, and lovers of herpetology. Placed in an office, library, or cabinet of curiosities, it brings a touch of authenticity and vintage elegance, inviting detailed observation of these reptiles.
