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. Sewn from a durable canvas-like exterior with a soft lining and made to order, in three sizes up to one that fits a tablet. A catchall for toiletries, art supplies, or small electronics, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a plain zip bag.
