EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 1731 Johann Scheuchzer Bible. In this particular illustration, found in the book Physica Sacra (Sacred Physics), we are transported to the world of Deuteronomy where an imaginative depiction of a giraffe and other horned animals takes center stage. The intricate folio copper engraving was skillfully crafted by a team of talented engravers led by Johann Andreas Pfeffel. Johann Scheuchzer's ambitious project aimed to merge contemporary science with biblical narratives through a series of 745 plates. During that era, there existed little doubt regarding the compatibility between science and religion, as physica (science) was believed to provide substantial evidence supporting the literal truth behind biblical accounts such as creation and human history. In this monochrome artwork, we witness an array of African animals including the majestic giraffe alongside other cloven-footed beasts belonging to the artiodactyla group known for chewing cud. This visual representation not only adds an exotic touch but also serves as a reminder that these creatures were considered permissible for consumption according to biblical teachings. Paul D. Stewart's photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance embedded within this image. It invites contemplation on how scientific understanding has evolved over time while highlighting humanity's enduring quest for knowledge about our origins and existence.
