EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving is a striking representation of the American Bison, or Buffalo, as it was depicted in Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History published between 1794 and 1796. The American Bison, scientifically known as Bison americanus, is a large, majestic animal native to North America. This engraving, created by the skilled hand of Johann Ihle, captures the power and grace of the bison in its natural habitat. The American Bison was once a common sight on the Great Plains, numbering in the millions. However, due to hunting and habitat loss, their population was decimated, with estimates suggesting that fewer than 1,000 individuals remained in the late 1800s. Today, conservation efforts have helped to restore their numbers, with an estimated population of over 30,000 in North America. This illustration is a testament to the natural history of the American Bison and the artistry of the time. The intricate details of the bison's fur, the texture of its hide, and the expressive eyes all come to life through the skilled use of handcoloring. The engraving also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the natural history of a species that was once on the brink of extinction but has since been saved through conservation efforts. Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History was a groundbreaking work that covered the three natural worlds of fauna, flora, and geology. This bison engraving is just one example of the many illustrations that were produced as part of this comprehensive work, which was published in five volumes between 1794 and 1796. The engraving is a reminder of the importance of preserving natural history and the role that art and science can play in documenting and celebrating the natural world.
