EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diverse and fascinating European animals of the Tertiary Period. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, it brings to life a bygone era when ancient creatures roamed the continent. The artwork, created by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. The image portrays a lush landscape teeming with wildlife and towering trees. In this prehistoric scene, we can spot various species that once inhabited Europe during this geological epoch. From the majestic rhinoceros to the graceful elephant, from giant salamanders to hippos wallowing in swampy waters - each animal represents a unique piece of Earth's history. Amongst them are also primates like monkeys swinging through branches, reminding us of our own evolutionary journey. The presence of dinosaurs further emphasizes how far life has evolved since then. This print was originally created as an illustration for Ferdinand von Hochstetter's book "Geologische Bilder der Vorwelt und der Jetztwelt" (1873), shedding light on both past and present worlds through scientific exploration. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back millions of years ago when these magnificent creatures thrived across Europe. It serves as a testament to our planet's ever-changing nature and reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve its rich biodiversity for future generations.
