EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph print, the enigmatic figure of a Pteranodon, a large flying pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous period, graces the page. The image, titled "Pteranodon," is an exquisite creation by the renowned German artist and book illustrator, Heinrich Harder. This illustration is taken from his seminal work, "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in 1916 in Hamburg. Heinrich Harder, born in 1858, was a versatile artist, known primarily for his landscapes but also for his exceptional ability to bring prehistoric creatures to life through his illustrations. In this masterpiece, he captures the essence of the Pteranodon, a creature that has long fascinated the world with its unique combination of avian and reptilian features. The Pteranodon, an extinct pterosaur, is depicted with a wingspan of up to 7 meters, large sharp teeth, and a distinct crest on its head. Its wings are formed by a membrane of skin stretched between its elongated fourth fingers, allowing it to soar through the skies of the Late Cretaceous era. This stunning illustration, a testament to Harder's artistic prowess, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these magnificent creatures roamed the earth. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and lifelike quality of the image make it a must-have for any collection of prehistoric animal art or for those with an interest in the history of natural history illustration. This print, a beautiful piece of historical art, serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of life that has existed on our planet and the remarkable artists who have captured its essence through their work.
