EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Ichtyosaurus, 1833-39" takes us back to the 19th century when the world of paleontology was still in its infancy. Created by an unknown French artist and now part of a private collection, this print showcases the incredible diversity of prehistoric marine life. The image is taken from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" a groundbreaking publication by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. This comprehensive dictionary aimed to educate readers about various aspects of natural history and provide vivid illustrations to accompany the text. Here we see an Ichthyosaurus, a fascinating creature that roamed the ancient seas millions of years ago. Its sleek body and elongated snout are beautifully rendered through delicate lines and vibrant colors. The attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate the intricate features of this long-extinct species. Accompanying the Ichthyosaurus are other marine organisms such as Idotea sp. , commonly known as sea slaters or woodlice. These small crustaceans add depth and context to the scene, highlighting the interconnectedness of different forms of life throughout Earth's history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can't help but marvel at how far our understanding has come since these early scientific explorations. This print serves as a reminder that there is always more to discover about our planet's rich past and encourages
