17th century ornithological engraving from the greatest natural history artist of his age.
Nicolas Robert (18 April 1614 – 25 March 1685) was a French miniaturist and engraver. He was born in Langres and died in Paris.
The composition of this engraving shows a significant improvement on the vélins that Robert produced for the French King: the subjects are shown within a fully-realized landscape giving it a vivacity that is often lacking from ornithological work where only a single bird or pose is shown.

Joh. Jak. Scheuchzer, Bible Engraving, Noah’s Ark, Folio, Hand Coloured
Located in Norwich, GB
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. Each engraving features highly decorative borders which feature biblical and scientific depictions.
Physica Sacra combined theological and scientific practices in an attempt to reconcile biblical passages with the new sciences of the time. The work is an extraordinary illustrated natural history work, and a great example of the decorative nature of the 18th century copper engraving.
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...
