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. Built on a steel frame with the artwork printed across a vegan leather seat, made to order in bar or counter height with gold or black legs. Real seating that carries an independent artist's work, not showroom filler.
