A superb set of 18th Century important serpent engravings most probably from Albertus Seba's rare publication 'Locupletissimi Rerum Naturalium Thesauri Accurata Descriptio et Iconibus Artificiosissimis Expressio per Universam Physices Historiam'.
A rough translation from the Latin title 
'A careful description & exceedingly artistic expression in pictures of the exceedingly rich treasury of nature throughout the entire history of natural science.

This trio of hand coloured engravings are in good antique condition, some minor foxing adds to the character of this highly decorative pair. They have been beautifully framed using acid free mounts in bespoke frames. Further set of engravings available.
