EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Wild Horses of the Diluvial Era, Extinct Genus," is a stunning depiction of an extinct genus of horses, Equus ferus, from the Diluvial era. Created by the renowned German artist and illustrator, Heinrich Harder, in 1916, this piece is taken from his publication "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg. Heinrich Harder (1858-1935) was a prolific artist and illustrator, known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of nature in his work. His illustrations were not only aesthetically pleasing but also scientifically accurate, making them valuable historical records. The illustration showcases a herd of wild horses, galloping through a lush, green landscape. These horses, with their powerful builds and majestic manes, are believed to be extinct creatures from the Diluvial era, a geological period marked by the end of the Ice Age and the beginning of the Holocene epoch. The horses in this illustration are identified as Equus ferus, a genus of wild horses that lived during the Pleistocene epoch. These horses were larger and more robust than their modern-day counterparts, with some species growing up to 1.8 meters tall at the shoulder. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of wildlife that once roamed the Earth. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and understanding the creatures that came before us. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the extinct Equus ferus to life, making this a truly mesmerizing piece of art and historical record.
