Hand-colored copperplate engraving from a drawing by George Wolfgang Knorr from Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" 1794. The prolific Sibly published his Universal System of Natural History in 1794~1796 in five volumes covering the three natural worlds of fauna, flora and geology. The series included illustrations of mythical beasts such as the sukotyro and the mermaid, and depicted sloths sitting on the ground (instead of hanging from trees) and a domesticated female orang utan wearing a bandana. The engravings were by J. Pass, J. Chapman and Barlow copied from original drawings by famous natural history artists George Edwards, Albertus Seba, Maria Sybilla Merian, and Johann Ihle.); © Florilegius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty and diversity of three unique creatures - the Great anteater, three-banded armadillo, and short-tailed manis. The intricate details in this artwork, created by George Wolfgang Knorr and featured in Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" from 1794, showcase the incredible craftsmanship of natural history illustrations from that era.
The Great anteater with its long snout for feeding on ants and termites, the three-banded armadillo known for its distinctive armor-like shell, and the short-tailed manis with its scaly body all come to life in this print. Each creature is depicted with precision and accuracy, highlighting their unique characteristics.
Sibly's work was groundbreaking for its time, covering a wide range of fauna, flora, and geology in great detail. The engravings in his series were done by talented artists such as J. Pass, J. Chapman, and Barlow who drew inspiration from renowned natural history illustrators like George Edwards and Maria Sybilla Merian.
This image serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity found in nature and the importance of preserving these magnificent species for future generations to admire.
