EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color print from the early 20th century, we are transported back in time to the Upper Jurassic era, approximately 155 to 150 million years ago. This intricately detailed map illustrates the continents and seas that dominated our planet during this epoch, a time when the world looked vastly different from the one we know today. At the heart of the map, we see the supercontinent Pangaea beginning to fragment, with North America and South America starting to separate from each other. Africa, Europe, and Asia are also distinct landmasses, while Australia and the Indonesian Peninsula are still connected to Asia. The vast Tethys Ocean, which would later give birth to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, stretches across the center of the map. Amidst the continents and oceans, we can imagine the giants of the prehistoric world roaming and swimming. Dinosaurs like Brontosaurus, with their long necks and massive bodies, might have wandered through the lush forests and grasslands of the continents. In the freshwater lakes, marine creatures like the elasmosaur, a long-necked, extinct reptile, could have thrived. This map is an exquisite illustration from Wilhelm Bolsche's "Das Leben der Urwelt" (Prehistoric Life), published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1932. The map was created by Hugo Wolff, Maage, and W. Bolsche, and its vibrant colors and intricate detail provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Upper Jurassic era. This map is a testament to the rich history of zoology, paleontology, and prehistory, and serves as a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of our planet.
