EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the majestic Stag, Cervus elaphus, in its regal splendor. The image is taken from Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History, published in five volumes between 1794 and 1796. Sibly, a prolific naturalist and publisher, meticulously documented the natural world in this comprehensive work, covering the realms of fauna, flora, and geology. The engraving, produced by the skilled hand of Johann Ihle, captures the intricate details of the Stag's impressive antlers, which are a hallmark of its masculinity and dominance in the deer family. The delicate shading and vibrant colors bring the Stag to life, making it a true work of art. The Stag, also known as the Red Deer, is the largest European deer species and is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. They are herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation, and are known for their agility and quickness. The Stag's coat is a rich, reddish-brown in color, with a white underbelly and a black nose and ears. This historical illustration not only serves as a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the natural world but also as a reminder of the meticulous work that went into documenting it during the late 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this handcolored copperplate engraving continue to captivate and inspire us today.
