Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672-1733); engraved by P.A. Kilian. Bible engraving, Noah’s Ark Folio. Dimensions: 38 x 24 cm. Hand coloured This fascinating folio engraving is from Johann Jakob Scheuchzer’s Physica Sacra. The work was published in Augsburg und Ulm between 1731 and 1735.

Scheuchzer was a founder of paleobotany and European paleontology, as well as a professor of mathematics and physics. He believed the Old Testament was a factual account of the history of the world...
