EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 2 of John and Elizabeth Gould's "A Monograph of the Trogonid, or family of Trogons," (1838) features a stunning hand-colored lithograph of the Morelia spilota variegata, also known as the variegated carpet python. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this magnificent snake, with its distinctive crested head adorned with vibrant blue and green colors. The snake's body is coiled around a branch, displaying its beautiful pattern of alternating light and dark bands. The background of the illustration is adorned with a lush, floral scene, featuring a variety of angiosperms, or flowering plants, adding to the overall beauty and naturalistic feel of the image. The snake's long, slender body contrasts with the robust, blooming flowers, highlighting the diversity and harmony of the natural world. John and Elizabeth Gould were renowned for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of their subjects. This illustration, produced between 1804 and 1881, is a testament to their skill and dedication. The snake's crest, bill, and belly are all rendered with remarkable accuracy, and the colors are rich and vibrant, bringing the creature to life on the page. The Morelia spilota variegata is a non-venomous snake native to Australia and New Guinea. Its intricate pattern and unique crest make it a popular subject for natural history illustrations and studies. This beautiful lithograph is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art and a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century.
