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. Printed on soft, lightweight polyester with hand-sewn edges and made to order. Original artwork at room scale, light enough to hang almost anywhere and move with you.
