EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print showcases the Southern Water Snake (Nerodia fasciata) in all its natural glory. Created in 1790 by the talented illustrator Frederick Polydor Nodder, this hand-coloured engraving is a true masterpiece of its time. The snake's twisted form and open mouth are expertly captured, highlighting its unique shape and facial features. Set against a pristine white background, the vibrant blue hues of the water snake stand out beautifully, thanks to Nodder's meticulous hand tinting. This late eighteenth-century artwork is part of George Shaw's renowned publication Vivarium Naturae or the Naturalists Miscellany, which aimed to document various species from around the world. The intricate details of this engraving showcase Nodder's skill as an artist and his dedication to accurately representing nature. Every scale and animal marking is meticulously engraved and hand-coloured with precision. Plate 266 from Vivarium Naturae immortalizes this particular Southern Water Snake for generations to admire. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within their private collection, allowing us a glimpse into the exquisite artistry that flourished during the late 18th century. As we marvel at this stunning depiction of nature's wonders, we are reminded of both our fascination with wildlife and our admiration for those who capture it so beautifully on paper.
