EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork showcases the majestic Woolly mammoth, a fascinating creature from prehistoric times. The monochrome illustration, originally published in 1882 and featured in Moses and Geology's ninth edition in 1886, offers a glimpse into the history of science and zoological discoveries. The Woolly mammoth (Elephas primigenius) is depicted with intricate detail, capturing its wild beauty and immense size. This extinct mammal roamed the Earth during the Ice Age, making it an important part of our planet's biological and paleontological history. The artist skillfully portrays this magnificent mega fauna with its characteristic long tusks curving gracefully outward. Every line and shading brings life to this historical creature that once dominated vast landscapes. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also holds significant scientific value. It provides valuable insights into the study of paleozoology and palaeontology while offering a window into how these fields were perceived during the late 1800s. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when woolly mammoths freely roamed our planet. It reminds us of the rich diversity that existed before their extinction and encourages us to appreciate both nature's wonders and humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our past.
