Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles Strasbourg Paris F. G. Levrault Le Normant 1816-1830, The illustration features two detailed depictions of serpentine creatures. The first is labeled '1. ORVET commun,' showcasing a slender, elongated body with a smooth texture and a pointed tail, emphasizing its streamlined form. The second depiction, labeled '2. OPHISAURE ventral,' presents a slightly thicker body with distinct patterns and scales along its length, suggesting a different species. Both specimens are oriented to highlight their lengths and are accompanied by a smaller inset image, possibly providing additional anatomical details or a close-up view of a specific feature. The precision of the lines and the clarity of the labels reflect a focus on biological study, typical of zoological illustrations from earlier eras.
