Description
A dense catalog of reptiles and amphibians fills this hand-colored engraving, arranged in three horizontal registers from snakes and lizards at top to crocodilians in the middle and turtles below. Ochre, sage green, and cream tones dominate the naturalistic palette, rendered with fine cross-hatching and delicate linework characteristic of 19th-century scientific illustration. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
