EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Tarsius" by the renowned German artist and illustrator Heinrich Harder, showcases one of the most intriguing haplorrhine primate genera known to us, with a lineage that can be traced back an impressive 45 million years. The Tarsius, a small nocturnal primate, is depicted in this historic image with its large, round, forward-facing eyes, elongated hind limbs, and a long, bushy tail. This unique combination of features allowed the Tarsius to excel in its arboreal environment, providing excellent grip and balance as it navigated the trees of its ancient habitat. Heinrich Harder's masterful illustration is taken from his seminal work, "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg in 1916. Harder, born in 1858, was not only a gifted landscape artist but also an accomplished book illustrator. His work, which includes both extinct and living species, is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to marvel at the rich diversity of life that has graced our planet throughout history. The Tarsius, though not a dinosaur, serves as a reminder of the myriad creatures that once roamed and leapt through the forests and jungles of our prehistoric world. This striking illustration is an invaluable contribution to the historical record of our natural history, and a testament to Harder's artistic vision and scientific acumen.
