Short Description

The Horn-Nosed snake pictured was obtained from the master of a Guinea vessel by the Rev Edward Jenkins of South Carolina who presented it to the British Museum. It was supposed to be native of the “interior parts of Africa”. The full description by Shaw was sure to put fear into the mind of any reader.

Copper engraved and hand coloured by Shaw & Nodder and published in London on in 1792 (dated in the plate). Shaw was in charge of the Natural History Department at the British Museum. Frederick Nodder was a natural history artist and worked for Banks on his Florilegium.
