Step back in time and witness the wonders of an antediluvian world. In 1908, an illustration captured the majestic Siberian unicorn, Elasmotherium sibiricum, roaming a snowy plain. Its horn glistens against the white backdrop, reminding us of the mythical creatures that once roamed our planet. Another lithograph transports us to a scene where Palaeolithic mammoth-hunters engineer their kill. With skill and precision, they strategize their approach to bring down these colossal beasts that once dominated the Earth's landscape. As witnesses to prehistory, we delve deeper into ancient rituals depicted in a vibrant color lithograph. Funerals in the Age of Reindeer come alive as we observe tribes paying homage to their ancestors with reverence and respect. Journeying further into history brings us to Pepieux in Aude, Minervois, Occitanie where Dolmen des Fades stands tall. This covered alleyway known as Palet de Roland or Morrel de las Fadas whispers secrets from times long gone by. Our exploration continues with illustrations capturing extinct species like the woolly rhinoceros on vast steppes and the vulnerable tuatara seeking solace on a distant shore. We marvel at nature's diversity through images of short-beaked echidnas foraging for food and Hesperornis regalis - an extraordinary flightless bird from Cretaceous times. In this journey through time, we encounter Sivatherium giganteum amidst lush jungle foliage while Megatherium americanum basks under moonlight's ethereal glow. These illustrations remind us of how life has evolved over millions of years - showcasing both its grandeur and fragility. Antediluvian hints beckon us to explore our planet's rich past; they invite curiosity about what lies beyond our modern existence. Let these glimpses ignite your imagination as you ponder upon worlds lost but not forgotten.
