Art Historian Seekiing Assistance

[ArtHistorian]

I am an art historian seeking some snake expertise for a research project.

This is the cover of a Soviet book design about the Du Pont corporation.

Any idea what kind of snake this might be?

This is my first attempt to attach an image. If it works, I will post a few more.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide!

That seems to be a White lipped viper, or Trimeresurus albolabris if you want to go scientific.
