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

Originally featured in Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" published in 1794, this illustration is a testament to the incredible diversity of wildlife found in nature. Sibly's work encompassed not only real animals like these squirrels but also mythical beasts such as the sukotyro and mermaid.
