EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Serpent, 1850" is a remarkable piece of art created by Louis Simon Lassalle. Measuring 18x12 cm, this print showcases the intricate details of a serpent from the renowned "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" collection. Illustrated with sixteen lithographs drawn by Lassalle himself, this particular image captures the essence of natural history and zoology during the 19th century. The serpent's slithering form is beautifully depicted, showcasing Lassalle's skill as an engraver. The "Alphabet du Jardin des Plantes" was authored by Mrs. Louise Leneveux (Marie-Louise Pignot) and published in Paris in 1850 by Mrs Veuve Louis Janet. This educational book aimed to teach children about various animals found in nature through vivid illustrations like this one. Lassalle's attention to detail brings out the texture and scales of the snake, making it appear almost lifelike on paper. The engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable resource for those interested in studying reptiles or exploring natural sciences. This photo print, part of a private collection, offers viewers a glimpse into France's rich cultural heritage during the nineteenth century. It reminds us of how art can be used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a tool for education and enlightenment.
