EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases the skeleton, skull, and tooth of the extinct cave bear, Ursus spelaeus. The image is taken from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking publication that introduced fossils and palaeontology to both the specialist and general reader. The cave bear, also known as Ursus spelaeus, was a large, powerful bear species that inhabited Europe during the Pleistocene epoch, around 400,000 to 10,000 years ago. This bear was adapted to life in caves, with shorter and stockier limbs, and a smaller skull with a pronounced brow ridge and powerful jaw muscles. The skeleton, skull, and tooth depicted in the lithograph provide a detailed and accurate representation of this fascinating creature. The tooth, in particular, is noteworthy for its size and distinctive serrations. Cave bears had large, powerful jaws and sharp teeth, which they used to crush bones and grind up tough vegetation. The tooth in the image is a molar, which would have been used for grinding and crushing food. This lithograph is a testament to the scientific curiosity and advancements of the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the natural world and the incredible creatures that once roamed the Earth. The intricate details of the skeleton, skull, and tooth are brought to life through the skillful use of handcoloring, making this a truly beautiful and educational piece of historical significance.
