EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving is a stunning representation of the elusive and ferocious Wolverine, also known as Gulo gulo, from Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History published in 1794-1796. Sibly, a prolific naturalist and publisher, created this five-volume work to document the natural world in the three realms of fauna, flora, and geology. The Wolverine, a member of the weasel family, is depicted in this illustration with remarkable detail and accuracy. Its powerful build, sharp claws, and menacing expression are vividly portrayed, highlighting the animal's formidable reputation as a fierce predator. The intricate engraving technique used in this print adds to the image's beauty and historical significance. The handcoloring adds depth and richness to the print, making the fur and details of the Wolverine's body stand out. The background features a rocky landscape, which is typical of the animal's habitat in the northern hemisphere. The attention to detail in this illustration is a testament to the skill and expertise of the engraver and the naturalist behind the project. This historical print is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or wildlife art. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural world as it was understood during the late 18th century. The Wolverine, a creature of mystery and strength, continues to fascinate and inspire us today, making this print a fascinating and intriguing piece of art and scientific history.
