EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Teleoceras" by the renowned German artist and illustrator, Heinrich Harder, showcases an extinct genus of grazing rhinoceros that roamed the Earth during the Miocene to early Pliocene epochs. Teleoceras, meaning "early horned nose," is a fitting name for this prehistoric creature, as its distinctive elongated and forward-pointing horns are prominently displayed in this vivid and detailed depiction. Heinrich Harder, born in 1858, was not only a skilled landscape artist but also a prolific book illustrator. His work graced numerous publications, including "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg in 1916. This particular illustration is a testament to Harder's mastery of capturing the essence of ancient creatures, bringing them to life through his art. Teleoceras, a creature of the past, is often compared to its living relatives, the rhinoceros, due to its grazing habits and large size. However, it is essential to remember that this magnificent beast is an extinct species, having vanished from our planet millions of years ago. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this chromolithograph illustration offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Teleoceras and other prehistoric creatures roamed the Earth. Harder's artwork serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of life that has existed on our planet, inspiring awe and wonder in all who behold it.
