Hand-colored copperplate engraving from a drawing by Johann Ihle 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 four fascinating canids - the Wolf, Fox, Jackal, and Wild Dog of Ceylon. Illustrated by Johann Ihle for Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" in 1794, this print showcases the intricate details and unique characteristics of each species.
The Wolf (Canis lupus), known for its majestic presence and pack mentality, is depicted alongside the cunning Fox (Vulpes vulpes), with its fiery red coat and sly demeanor. The Jackal (Canis aureus) stands out with its distinctive howl and scavenging nature, while the Wild Dog of Ceylon adds a touch of exoticism to the group.
Sibly's work was groundbreaking in its time, offering a comprehensive look at the natural world through detailed illustrations like this one. From mythical beasts to real-life creatures, his Universal System covered it all with precision and artistry.
