Hand-colored copperplate engraving from a drawing by George Edwards from Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" 1794.
The prolific Sibly published his Universal System of Natural History in 1794~1796 in five volumes covering the three natural worlds of fauna, flora and geology. 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. Chapman and Barlow copied from original drawings by famous natural history artists George Edwards, Albertus Seba, Maria Sybilla Merian, and Johann Ihle.); © Florilegius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the powerful presence of the Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) in all its ferocious glory. With its massive body, formidable teeth, and imposing tusks, this majestic creature is a true force of nature.
Created by renowned natural history artist George Edwards and featured in Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" from 1794, this print is a testament to the incredible diversity of wildlife on our planet. Sibly's groundbreaking work covered not only fauna but also flora and geology, showcasing a wide range of species from across the globe.
In addition to more familiar animals like hippos, Sibly's series included depictions of mythical beasts such as the sukotyro and mermaid. The engravings were meticulously executed by talented artists like J. Pass, J. Chapman, and Barlow based on original drawings by legends in the field such as Albertus Seba and Maria Sybilla Merian.
This image serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, inviting viewers to marvel at both familiar creatures like hippos and fantastical beings that capture our imagination. It is a timeless piece that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
