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. Woven from textured polyester yarn with a frayed edge and made to order, it ships with a wooden dowel and cotton cord so it hooks onto the wall in one step. Original artwork with a soft, bohemian texture a flat print can't give a room.
