EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vivid depiction of a Carboniferous landscape, transporting us back in time to an era that existed approximately 360 to 300 million years ago. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this swampy environment, teeming with life and ancient wonders. In the foreground, we are greeted by the sight of a colossal Arthropleura millipede, its many legs gracefully navigating through the lush vegetation. At its side rests an early amphibian, representing one of the first creatures to venture onto land from water. The lower right corner reveals a glimpse into the skies as a flying insect flutters about, adding movement and vibrancy to this prehistoric scene. Towering above them all are various species of Lepiododendron trees, their majestic forms reaching towards the heavens. Cordaites gymnosperm plants dominate the left center area while at far left stands a young Lepododendron tree. Alongside these magnificent flora lies an enchanting lake shore adorned with Calamites trees. This extraordinary artwork not only offers us insight into Earth's past but also serves as a testament to our planet's rich biodiversity throughout history. It is truly awe-inspiring how nature has evolved and adapted over millions of years. Richard Bizley's masterful illustration allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of our natural world while igniting curiosity about our planet's remarkable past.
