EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cobra di Capella" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an unknown European artist, this print showcases the intricate details of a cobra snake known as Cobra di Capella. The engraving was originally featured in Louis Figuier's renowned book "Reptiles and Birds" published in 1892. It serves as an illustration that beautifully captures the essence of this fascinating reptile. With scientific precision and artistic finesse, the engraver skillfully brings to life every scale, curve, and expression of the cobra. The stark contrast between black and white adds depth to its menacing gaze while highlighting its graceful form. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are reminded of the importance placed on natural history during the 19th century. This period witnessed a surge in scientific exploration and discovery, with scholars using illustrations like these to document new species for further study.
