EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating lithograph captures the mythical sukotyro creature, a Chinese legend that was believed to be an elephant species despite its unique features. Described as the size of an ox with a snout of a pig, yeuc on top of its head instead of on the sides, and two large horns or teeth on the side, this fantastical beast is truly one-of-a-kind.
The image brings to life the vivid descriptions given by Niuhoff during his travels to the East Indies, where he encountered this mysterious creature native to the island of Java. The intricate details in this print showcase the creativity and imagination that went into depicting such mythical beings in ancient folklore.
Published in The Naturalist Pocket Magazine or Cabinet complete des Curiosites et Beautes de la Nature between 1798 and 1802 by Harrison in London, England, this artwork has stood the test of time as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythological creatures.
