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. At home in a study, naturalist's office, or collector's curiosity cabinet. Soft microfiber with a plush down-alternative fill, made to order and ready to use the day it arrives, no insert needed. The artwork becomes the centerpiece of the bed, not more store-shelf bedding.
