EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Syrian Goat, Capra hircus, from Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History, published between 1794 and 1796. The Syrian Goat, also known as the Bezoar Goat, is a wild goat species native to the rugged mountainous regions of the Middle East, including modern-day Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. The intricately detailed illustration, created by the skilled hand of engraver Johann Ihle, showcases the goat's distinctive features, including its curved horns, short beard, and robust build. The goat is depicted standing on a rocky outcropping, its alert and watchful expression conveying both strength and agility. Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History was a groundbreaking work, covering the three natural worlds of fauna, flora, and geology in five volumes. Sibly, a prolific natural historian, compiled and curated a vast array of information from various sources, including his own observations and those of his contemporaries. The result was a comprehensive and accurate record of the natural world as it was known at the time. This particular illustration of the Syrian Goat is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth, bringing the goat to life and making it a true work of art. Today, the Syrian Goat remains an iconic symbol of the Middle East and an important species in the region's rich natural heritage.
