Hand-colored copperplate engraving from a drawing by Johann Ihle from Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" 1794.

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 Caffre Woman
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning depiction of a woman from South Africa, tenderly nursing her baby. This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Johann Ihle and featured in Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" in 1794, captures the beauty and grace of motherhood in an African context.
The intricate details in this print showcase the traditional attire of the woman, with beads adorning her neck and skin. The careful shading and coloring bring to life the love and care she shows towards her newborn infant. The image not only highlights the bond between mother and child but also serves as a cultural representation of South Africa during that time period.
Sibly's work was known for its comprehensive coverage of natural history, including mythical creatures like the sukotyro and detailed illustrations of various animals. The collaboration between renowned artists such as George Edwards, Albertus Seba, Maria Sybilla Merian, and Johann Ihle resulted in visually striking engravings that continue to captivate viewers centuries later.
"The Caffre Woman" is a timeless piece that celebrates both maternal love and cultural diversity. It serves as a reminder of the universal experience of motherhood while also honoring the unique traditions and beauty found within different communities around the world.
