EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Great Auk, Pinguinus impennis, a large, flightless bird that once thrived in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Great Auk, also known as the 'dinosaur bird' due to its ancient appearance, was an alcid, a type of seabird. This extinct creature, last sighted in the mid-19th century, is shown perched on a cliffside, displaying its distinctive features: a bulky body, short wings, and a large, round head. Heinrich Harder, a renowned German landscape artist and book illustrator, created this stunning illustration for Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published in Hamburg in 1916. Harder's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of color bring the Great Auk to life in this print. The Great Auk's extinction remains a mystery, with human activities, such as hunting and habitat destruction, believed to be the primary causes. This historical illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the consequences of human interference. As a testament to the rich history of natural history illustration, this image continues to fascinate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and the wonders of the natural world that once were.
