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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the essence of the majestic Orang Utan, also known as the Wild Man of the Woods. The creature is depicted holding a stick in its hand, showcasing its intelligence and dexterity. This artwork is part of Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History," a groundbreaking publication from the late 18th century that explored various aspects of fauna, flora, and geology.
Sibly's work was known for its detailed illustrations, including mythical beasts like the sukotyro and mermaid. The engravings in this series were created by talented artists such as J. Pass, J. Chapman, and Barlow, who drew inspiration from renowned natural history artists like George Edwards and Maria Sybilla Merian.
In this particular image, we see an Orang Utan in all its glory - a symbol of strength and grace in the wild. Its expressive eyes seem to convey wisdom beyond words, while its grip on the stick hints at a playful curiosity about the world around it.
This print serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations to admire and cherish.
