EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles published between 1816 and 1830, showcases two intriguing species of the natural world: the Yellowbelly Sea Snake, Pelamis platura, and the Asian Pit Viper, Trimeresurus species. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The Yellowbelly Sea Snake, depicted on the left, is a highly venomous marine snake that is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its body is sleek and elongated, perfectly adapted for life at sea. The snake's yellow belly, as its name suggests, is a striking contrast to the darker top half of its body. The Yellowbelly Sea Snake is an important predator in its ecosystem, feeding primarily on eels and other fish. On the right, the Asian Pit Viper, Trimeresurus species, is a terrestrial snake native to Southeast Asia. Its triangular head and distinctive pit organs, located between its eyes and nostrils, are clear indicators of its venomous nature. The snake's coloration varies, but it is typically brown or gray with a pattern of darker diamonds or squares. The Asian Pit Viper is a powerful and agile predator, preying on rodents, lizards, and other snakes. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the team behind it, including engraver Massard, who was directed by Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. This beautiful work of art not only showcases the natural beauty of these two species but also serves as a valuable record of their appearance in the early 19th century.
