EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored etching, titled "The Copperbelly Snake" or "Plainbelly Water Snake" (Nerodia erythrogaster), is an exquisite illustration from Mark Catesby's seminal work, "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" published in 1731. Catesby, an English naturalist, traveled to the Americas in the early 18th century to document the natural history of the New World. This volume, the second of three, focuses on the reptiles and amphibians of the region. The copperbelly snake, a member of the Colubridae family, is depicted in this illustration with remarkable detail and accuracy. Its body is adorned with intricate scales, and its belly is distinctively marked with coppery-red hues. The snake's head is raised, revealing its forked tongue and sharp teeth. The background of the print is adorned with native plants and foliage, adding to the overall naturalistic effect. The copperbelly snake is a non-venomous, aquatic snake that is native to the southeastern United States and the Bahamas. It is also known as the plainbelly water snake due to the lack of distinctive markings on its belly, which is instead a uniform color. This snake is an important predator in its ecosystem, feeding on a variety of aquatic prey, including fish, frogs, and tadpoles. This etching is a testament to Catesby's exceptional skill as an artist and naturalist. His work was groundbreaking in its time, and continues to be a valuable resource for scientists and historians today. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print bring the copperbelly snake to life, offering a glimpse into the natural history of the Americas during the 18th century.
