EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring remains of a Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthis) skeleton, an extinct genus of elephant from the Pleistocene Epoch. Standing approximately 3 meters (9 feet) tall and measuring 5.5 meters (16 feet) in length, this incredible discovery was made in Siberia back in 1799 when it emerged from the icy depths. The Woolly Mammoth holds a significant place in both animal history and geology, as its fossilized remains have been found not only in fossil deposits but also as frozen carcasses preserved for over 30,000 years within melting glaciers across northern Europe. This particular engraving is taken from George Leopold Cuvier's renowned work "The Animal Kingdom" published in London during 1830. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to a time long ago when these magnificent creatures roamed the Earth. The intricate details captured by the engraving allow us to marvel at the sheer size and structure of this ancient mammal. Palaeontology enthusiasts and nature lovers alike will find themselves captivated by this remarkable piece of history frozen in time. It serves as a poignant reminder of our planet's rich past and encourages us to appreciate the wonders that lie beneath our feet.
