Detailed print of a hand-colored lithograph by John Edwards Holbrook titled “Rainbow Snake,” originally published in 1836.
The Rainbow Snake (Farancia erytrogramma) is a striking, non-venomous species native to the southeastern United States. Known for its iridescent scales displaying vibrant hues, it inhabits aquatic environments, often remaining elusive and rarely seen, which adds to its mystique.
Printed on heavyweight, museum-quality Hahnemühle Fine-Art paper, this reproduction captures the vivid colors and intricate detail of one of Holbrook’s finest illustrations.
John Edwards Holbrook, an American zoologist and physician, is celebrated as the father of North American herpetology. His meticulous attention to detail, combined with his artistic sensibility, has made his illustrations timeless testaments to both scientific discovery and natural beauty.
