EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the mythical figure of a Winged Dragon, a creature that has intrigued and inspired the human imagination for centuries. The image is taken from Wilhelm Bolsche's "Prehistoric Life" published in 1932 by Georg Dollheimer in Leipzig, Germany. The illustration, created by the skilled hands of Hugo Wolff, Maage, depicts a dragon with the body of a marine crocodile and the wings of a pterosaur. The dragon is shown in a serene pose, floating gracefully above the prehistoric sea. The dragon's body bears a striking resemblance to that of a crocodyliform, a group of extinct and living reptiles that includes crocodiles and their ancestors. Specifically, the dragon appears to be a member of the Teleosauridae genus, a group of marine crocodiles that lived during the Jurassic period. The dragon's wings, on the other hand, are reminiscent of those of a pterosaur, an extinct group of flying reptiles. The illustration is a testament to the richness of the human imagination and our fascination with the prehistoric world. It is a reminder of the importance of zoology and paleontology in helping us understand the natural world, both past and present. The Winged Dragon, while not a real creature, serves as a symbol of the wonders that lie hidden in the depths of time and the power of art to bring these wonders to life.
