EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Plesiosaurus battling Temnodontosaurus (Oligostinus), 1840" takes us back to a time long before our own. Created by the talented artist John Martin in the 19th century, this print showcases an epic battle between two ancient sea creatures. The scene is taken from the frontispiece of Thomas Hawkins' book, "The Book of the Great Sea Dragons". This remarkable publication delves into the world of extinct monsters that once roamed our planet's oceans. The author's collection of fossil organic remains, now housed in the British Museum, served as inspiration for these intricate illustrations. In this particular image, we witness a fierce confrontation between a Plesiosaurus and a Temnodontosaurus (Oligostinus). These prehistoric saurians clash amidst crashing waves and tumultuous waters. Their powerful bodies intertwine as they fight for dominance in their primeval realm. Martin's skillful use of mezzotint brings life to these imaginary creatures from eons past. The level of detail in their scales and muscular forms is truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of Earth's ancient history but also its biblical connections. This engraving serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic talent. It invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within our planet's depths while igniting our imagination with visions of fantastical beasts that once ruled the seas.
