EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty and danger of two venomous snakes, the Ring-necked spitting cobra and the Martinique lancehead. The image, captured by Carini in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali. The first snake depicted is the Ring-necked spitting cobra, scientifically known as Hemachatus haemachatus. Its vibrant colors and distinctive ring pattern on its neck make it a striking creature to behold. Known for its ability to spit venom accurately at its prey or predators, this cobra commands respect with its deadly defense mechanism. Next to it lies the Martinique lancehead, also referred to as Bothrops lanceolatus. This species boasts an elegant yet menacing appearance with its triangular-shaped head and sharp fangs ready to deliver potent venom. Found primarily on Martinique Island in the Caribbean, this snake serves as a reminder of nature's awe-inspiring diversity. The collaboration between Carini's artistic talent and Jean Gabriel Pretre's detailed drawing brings these serpents to life on paper. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction ensures that every intricate detail is faithfully represented in this illustration published by Batelli e Figli. As we admire this remarkable piece of natural history artistry, let us appreciate both the beauty and potential danger that exists within our world's wildlife. These snakes serve as reminders of nature's delicate balance and our responsibility towards their preservation.
