EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration captures a moment in the life of a Short-beaked echidna, also known as a spiny anteater. Created by Heinrich Harder in 1908, this color printed illustration showcases the foraging behavior of this unique creature. The echidna is depicted searching for food on the ground, using its long snout and sharp claws to dig into the earth. Heinrich Harder was not only an accomplished landscape artist but also a skilled book illustrator. His attention to detail and vibrant colors bring this prehistoric world to life. This particular illustration comes from Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg. The Short-beaked echidna is native to Australia and New Guinea, characterized by its spiky exterior and ability to lay eggs like a mammal. It feeds primarily on ants and termites found underground, using its sticky tongue to catch them. This print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art, showcasing the beauty and complexity of nature's creatures. It allows us to appreciate the diversity of wildlife that existed even over a century ago. Whether you are fascinated by natural history or simply drawn to visually stunning illustrations, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its depiction of an ancient world teeming with life.
