1731 Physica Sacra (Sacred Physics) by Johann Scheuchzer (1672-1733) the fourth day of creation, the sun and the moon, folio copper engraving (with later hand colouring) drawn by a team of engravers under the direction of Johann Andreas Pfeffel (1674-1748). The goal of Scheuchzer's work was to use the best contemporary science to illuminate the biblical account of human history in a sequence of 745 plates. At the time there was little doubt that science (physica) supported the literal truth of the Biblical chronology of creation and history. Alternative black and white also available in photo library.
