EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome illustration is taken from Sheet 4 of the groundbreaking series of extinct animals by the renowned Victorian artist, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. Dated circa 1862, this illustration showcases two fascinating species of mammals that roamed the Earth during the Eocene epoch, approximately 50 million years ago. The first species, Anoplotherium commune and Anoplotherium gracile, were members of the Anoplotherioid family, also known as the Anoplotherioidea. These herbivorous mammals, classified as Artiodactyla or even-toed ungulates, are depicted in a peaceful herd, grazing outside in a daytime habitat. The second species, Palaeotherium, is a member of the Palaeotheriidae family, classified as a Perissodactyl or odd-toed ungulate. Palaeotherium, a placental mammal, is shown standing alone, possibly a male, with its distinctive long snout and powerful build. Both Anoplotherium and Palaeotherium were native to the Cenozoic era, a period in the Phanerozoic Con, which includes the Tertiary period. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, a pioneer in the field of paleontology and prehistoric animal reconstruction, created this illustration as part of his extensive work for the Crystal Palace in London. His intricate and detailed depictions of these extinct animals continue to fascinate and inspire us, offering a glimpse into the rich history of wildlife that once inhabited our planet.
