Landscape of the Triassic, Vivid colour lithograph for " Dr. Schuberts Naturgeschichte - Geologie, Mineralreich, Palaontologie". Published 1888 in Stuttgart 1888 by J.F. Shreiber. The palaeontology section by Dr. Friedrich Rolle. The engraving shows Mastodonsaurus (a temnospondyl amphibian) with a phytosaur Belodon in the background. At the time this was engraved Mastodonsaurus was held responsible for the large trace fossil footprints found in Triassic sandstones and described as Chirotherium, but recent research indicates the tracks belong to reptiles of the Pseudosuchia. German lithographers dominated colour lithography with their high volume productions such as this book for Children

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, dating back to 1888, offers a vivid glimpse into the prehistoric world of the Triassic period. Entitled "1888 Giant amphibian of triassic coast" this landscape print was featured in Dr. Schubert's Naturgeschichte - Geologie, Mineralreich, Palaontologie publication. The artwork showcases a remarkable reconstruction of Mastodonsaurus, an enormous temnospondyl amphibian that once roamed the ancient shores. In the background lurks Belodon, a phytosaur adding depth and intrigue to this mesmerizing scene. During its time, Mastodonsaurus was believed to be responsible for large trace fossil footprints found in Triassic sandstones and identified as Chirotherium. However, recent research has revealed that these tracks actually belong to reptiles from the Pseudosuchia group. German lithographers were renowned for their mastery of color lithography during this era. This particular illustration exemplifies their expertise with its stunning use of vibrant hues and meticulous attention to detail. Originally intended for children's education purposes, books like Dr. Schubert's Naturgeschichte offered young readers an immersive experience into Earth's history through captivating visuals such as this panoramic lithograph. Today, Paul D. Stewart brings us closer to our planet's past by sharing this extraordinary piece from Science Photo Library. It serves as a testament not only to the artistic talent behind it but also to the ever-evolving nature of scientific knowledge and discovery within paleontology.
