Vipera Caudalis — Reptilia Plate 7

This historical zoological plate presents Vipera caudalis in an elongated horizontal composition, its reddish-brown body forming a broad, rhythmic curve across a warm cream ground. The snake is shown with its head slightly raised, bringing particular attention to its compact facial structure and distinctive markings.

Fine scale work covers the body alongside irregular dark brown patches, reddish spots, and subtle blue accents. The narrowing tail develops a banded pattern, while a separate anatomical detail below records the structure of the terminal scales. Soft ground shading gives the specimen depth without disturbing the plate’s spacious presentation.
