EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the book of Ambroise Paré: Monsters and Prodiges (1573) showcases a truly bizarre and fantastical creature. Described as being found in an egg with the face of a man, adorned with hair made up of small snakes that are all alive, this monster is unlike anything seen before. The beard is depicted as fashionable, with three snakes emerging from the chin.
The detailed description accompanying the image tells the story of how this extraordinary being was discovered on March 15th, 1569 in Authun, Burgundy by a lawyer named Baucheron and a chambriere who was breaking eggs to put them in butter. The chambriere was shocked to see this monstrous creation emerge from one of the eggs she had cracked open.
The engraving captures the imagination with its depiction of a hybrid creature that blurs the lines between human and animal. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors viewed anomalies and oddities in nature, often attributing them to mythical or supernatural origins. This print is not just a historical artifact but also a testament to human curiosity and wonder at the mysteries of our world.
