Nouvelles experiences sur la vipere, ou l'on verra une description exacte de toutes ses parties, la source de son venin, ses divers effets, et les remedes exquis que les artistes peuvent tirer de la vipere...
Nouvelles experiences sur la vipere is a 1669 French medical treatise by Moyse Charas, printed in Paris for the author and Olivier de Varennes, aimed at physicians and apothecaries studying viper venom and remedies. Its plates show a viper coiled in a large oval with dissected organs, fangs and scales drawn in fine parallel hatching, and a frontispiece of a double-headed serpent over alchemical glassware, offering designers dense engraved line texture and emblematic serpent imagery.
