EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Foreign kinds of blindworms" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases a variety of reptiles known as blindworms. The print is part of a private collection and was originally published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's Picture Book for Children between 1790 and 1830. The artwork presents an array of different species, each depicted with meticulous detail. Among them are the blaugeringelte blindworm, characterized by its blue-ringed body; the blue blindworm, displaying vibrant shades of blue; the stumpfgeschwanzte blindworm with its blunt-tailed appearance; the grünblaue blindworm adorned in greenish-blue hues; and finally, the bandierte blindworm showcasing distinctive bands across its body. These reptiles belong to the Anguis genus and include species such as Anguis coeruleozonata, Anguis coerulea, Anguis obtusecaudata, Anguis prasina, and Anguis fasciata. Their slender bodies gracefully coil around each other on this engraving. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but demonstrates remarkable skill in capturing these creatures' unique characteristics through intricate engravings. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as an educational tool for those interested in exploring different types of reptiles from around the world.
