EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of exploration and discovery in the Cellars of Mt. St. Peter, Maastricht. The interior gallery is illuminated with a sense of mystery as men diligently excavate a fossil head of a crocodile-like mosasaur. The scene comes to life through this handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a renowned German publisher and man of arts, curated this masterpiece as part of his 12-volume encyclopedia for children. His dedication to illustrating natural history, science, costume, mythology, and more shines through in the intricate details captured in this print.
As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where curiosity and passion for knowledge drove individuals to unearth the secrets hidden beneath the earth's surface. The men depicted here embody that spirit as they delicately uncover the ancient remains of a creature long extinct.
This print serves as a reminder of our connection to the past and our never-ending quest for understanding the world around us. It is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in unraveling the mysteries that lie beneath our feet.
