EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled Raper Drawing No. 10, showcases the fortified island of Cobras, situated off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil during the late 18th century. The image, created by George Raper between 1768 and 1797, offers a unique perspective of the island's defensive structures nestled among the rugged cliffs and lush greenery. The island's name, Cobras, is derived from the presence of the venomous snakes native to the region, specifically the Naja or brown cobra, a member of the Elapidae family. These elapids, characterized as diapsids, are a subgroup of the larger Lepidosauria order, which also includes lizards and other reptiles. The illustration captures the island's geomorphology, revealing the intricate details of the landforms that make up the island's coastline. The daytime scene reveals the vibrant colors of the vegetation and the clear blue waters surrounding the island. The cliffs, with their jagged edges and steep inclines, provide a formidable barrier against potential invaders. The presence of these cobras adds an extra layer of intrigue to the island, making it a fascinating subject for naturalists and explorers of the time. The illustration serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of South America during the 18th century and the meticulous attention to detail of naturalists like George Raper. This work of art and illustration provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the natural world was still largely undiscovered and the wonders of the earth were waiting to be explored.
