EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Palaeomastodon, an extinct genus of Proboscidea that lived during the late Eocene and early Oligocene periods. Considered to be ancestors of elephants or mastodons, these majestic creatures roamed the Earth millions of years ago. The artwork, created by renowned German landscape artist and book illustrator Heinrich Harder in 1908, beautifully captures the essence of this prehistoric creature. The color-printed illustration is a part of Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), commissioned by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg. Harder's attention to detail brings this ancient animal back to life on paper. The intricate representation showcases not only his artistic prowess but also his deep understanding of natural history and scientific methods. The print transports us back in time to an era when landscapes were vastly different from what we know today. It serves as a reminder of our planet's rich biodiversity throughout history and highlights the importance of preserving it for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that there is still so much about our world's past waiting to be discovered through fields such as zoology and paleontology. This print stands as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our planet's fascinating natural sciences.
