Title:
Plate LXXXIII [Two snakes with flowers]
Description:
From the collection and preservation of the specimen to the publication of the volume, the production of Seba's Thesarus was an endeavor of art blended with science. It was a fantasy cabinet of curiosities for wealthy subscribers, as well as one of the most important observational studies in the history of the biological sciences. Seba's two snakes, accompanied by three flowers, are positioned for aesthetic effect in unnatural coils to show both the dorsal and ventral patterns.
