EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bungarus fasciatus, the Banded Krait: A Striking Illustration from the 18th Century Patrick Russell Collection" This print showcases the intricately banded skin of the Banded Krait, Bungarus fasciatus, a highly venomous snake native to Asia. The snake's skin, meticulously mounted on paper, is a testament to the natural history exploration during the 18th century. The Banded Krait, also known as the Asian Krait, is a member of the Elapidae family, which includes other venomous snakes like the cobras and mambas. Its distinctive black and yellow bands make it a visually striking species, providing excellent camouflage against the forest floor. This preserved specimen, part of The Patrick Russell Collection, dates back to circa 1790. Russell, a renowned naturalist and collector, amassed an extensive collection of animal specimens, including this Banded Krait, during his travels in the late 18th century. The Banded Krait belongs to the larger group of reptiles known as Sauropsida, which includes both living and extinct reptiles. This group is further divided into two main subgroups: Lepidosauria (scaled reptiles) and Archosauria (non-scaled reptiles and their descendants, including birds and crocodiles). The Banded Krait is classified under the suborder Serpentes, which includes all modern snakes. The intricate details of the Banded Krait's skin in this print offer a glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century. The print's historical significance lies in its contribution to the early scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich natural history heritage and the importance of preserving and studying such specimens for future generations.
