1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Extinct Cycad Tree The captivating illustration before you transports us back in time to the prehistoric era, showcasing the extinct Cycad tree. This magnificent specimen is depicted in "Das Leben der Urwelt" (Prehistoric Life), an intriguing work by Wilhelm Bolsche, published in 1932 by Georg Dollheimer in Leipzig. Cycads, often referred to as living fossils, are ancient non-flowering plants that have survived for over 300 million years. However, the extinct Cycad tree illustrated here is no longer part of our living world. This tree, with its towering trunk and large, fern-like leaves, once thrived in the distant past, sharing the Earth with dinosaurs, marine creatures, and other prehistoric beings. The Cycad tree, a close relative of the Ginkgo tree and the Ginkgo baum, was a common sight in the Mesozoic Era. Its large, sago-like cones produced seeds that were an essential food source for various prehistoric animals. The tree's resilience and longevity are evident in its fossil record, which spans millions of years. This exquisite illustration, a testament to the rich history of zoology, paleontology, and prehistory, offers us a glimpse into a time long past. It serves as a reminder of the Earth's ever-evolving biosphere and the wonders that lie hidden within the pages of our planet's history. As we marvel at this extinct Cycad tree, we are reminded of the importance of preserving the natural world around us and continuing to explore the mysteries of our planet's past. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating window into the prehistoric world that once was.
