EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of Protoceras, an extinct genus of Artiodactyla. Created by the talented German landscape artist and book illustrator Heinrich Harder in 1908, this colorful depiction is part of Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World). Protoceras celer, a species within this genus, roamed the Earth during the Oligocene to early Miocene period and is believed to be an ancestor of giraffes. The intricate details captured in this artwork bring these ancient creatures back to life, allowing us to marvel at their unique features. The print was produced by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg and has been preserved in a private collection. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression from the early twentieth century. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back millions of years ago when these majestic animals roamed freely across vast landscapes. This piece not only highlights our fascination with prehistory but also emphasizes the importance of natural sciences such as zoology and paleontology. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print invites us into a world long gone but forever imprinted on our collective imagination. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass, art has the power to preserve history for generations to come.
