EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite hand-coloured engravings of "Jeri Potoo" by William Skelton, published in 1796. Skelton, a renowned creator of his time, beautifully captures the essence of this Indian serpent found on the Coast of Coromandel. The image transports us back to the 18th century when natural history and exploration were at their peak. With meticulous attention to detail, Skelton brings this fast-moving colubrid snake to life through his skillful engraving technique and delicate application of colours. As we gaze upon this historical gem from the Historica Graphica Collection, we are reminded of its significance in herpetology and our understanding of reptiles during that era. The Jeri Potoo is depicted as a constrictor with its sleek body coiled gracefully, showcasing both power and elegance. This hand-coloured engraving not only serves as an illustration but also provides valuable insights into the world's natural history. It stands as a testament to Skelton's expertise in capturing nature's beauty through artistry. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece for its artistic merit and contribution to scientific knowledge rather than commercial use. Through it, we can delve into a bygone era where explorers like Skelton sought to document Earth's wonders for generations yet unborn.
