EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant 1888 colour lithograph showcases a fascinating array of Tertiary mammals, including Palaeotherium, hippopotamus, Dinotherium, Pithecus, Mastodon, and Anoplotherium. Although not all these animals coexisted during the same era, this illustration provides a captivating glimpse into the diverse mammalian species that once roamed our planet. The lithograph is part of "Dr. Schuberts Naturgeschichte - Geologie, Mineralreich, Palaontologie" a renowned publication from Stuttgart by J. F. Shreiber. Driven by German lithographers' mastery in colour lithography and their prolific production volumes for children's books like this one, the artwork captures attention with its vividness and detail. Authored by Dr. Friedrich Rolle specifically for the palaeontology section of the book, this panorama-style illustration transports viewers to an ancient landscape filled with prehistoric wonders. The scene depicts various geological periods such as Pleistocene and Eocene while showcasing fossils and reconstructions of long-extinct creatures. Paul D. Stewart skillfully captured this remarkable print from Science Photo Library's collection without mentioning any commercial use or company details associated with it. With its rich colours and meticulous artistry depicting these awe-inspiring mammals from different epochs in Earth's history, this lithograph serves as both an educational tool and a testament to the enduring fascination humans have had with our planet's past inhabitants.
