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 engravings were by J. Pass, J.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving from Johann Ihle's drawing featured in Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" transports us to a world where mythical creatures like the sukotyro coexist with real animals like the duck-billed platypus. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this fantastical scene, showcasing the creativity and imagination of artists from centuries past.
Sibly's groundbreaking work, published in five volumes between 1794 and 1796, delved into the realms of fauna, flora, and geology, providing a comprehensive look at the natural world. In addition to depicting known species like the platypus, Sibly also included illustrations of mythical beasts such as the sukotyro and mermaid.
The collaboration between renowned natural history artists George Edwards, Albertus Seba, Maria Sybilla Merian, and Johann Ihle resulted in stunning engravings that continue to captivate viewers today. From sloths depicted sitting on the ground to a domesticated female orangutan wearing a bandana, these images offer a unique glimpse into how animals were perceived during that time period.
As we gaze upon this print filled with wonder and curiosity, we are reminded of the endless possibilities that exist within both our imaginations and the natural world around us.
