Created by German landscape artist and book illustrator Heinrich Harder in 1908, this illustration showcases a Megatherium americanum, also known as the Great Beast, basking in the ethereal glow of moonlight. The Megatherium americanum was an extinct genus of elephant-sized ground sloths that inhabited America during the Pliocene through Pleistocene eras. This magnificent creature is beautifully depicted against a darkened backdrop, emphasizing its massive size and unique features. Harder's attention to detail brings this ancient animal to life with vibrant colors and intricate textures. The print is part of Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg.
