EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving from 1794 depicts a native of Terra del Fuego, known as "A Male Savage of Terra del Fuego." The indigenous man is adorned with a necklace, beaded belt, and furskin clothing while carrying a bow and arrow. His traditional attire reflects the cultural heritage and lifestyle of the people from this remote region.
The detailed illustration is part of Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History," a comprehensive work that explores the three natural worlds of fauna, flora, and geology. Sibly's publication also includes depictions of mythical creatures like the sukotyro and mermaid, adding an element of fantasy to the scientific study.
The engravings in this series were created by talented artists such as J. Pass, J.

Johann Ihle's drawing skillfully captures the essence of this native man from Terra del Fuego with intricate details and vibrant colors.
