Two copper engravings from Scheuchzer's Kupfer Bibel, which described the physical world in the context of the Bible. Each is surrounded in an elaborate architectural border. Kupfer is German for copper and the name is derived from the numerous copper engravings of cosmography, paleontology, zoology, botany, anatomy and other subjects related to natural history that were included along with biblical scenes.
