EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, a 19th-century British sculptor, and natural history artist. The depicted scene features a diverse gathering of extinct mammals, showcasing various species from the orders Proboscidea (elephants) and Pilosa (sloths). Among the elephantoids, the majestic Elephantidae family is represented by an elegant elephant, while the extinct Mammuthus mammoth, a giant mammoth, stands out with its distinctive long tusks and woolly coat. The Pilosa order is represented by the Megatheriidae family, with the iconic Megatherium americanum, a giant ground sloth, gracefully balancing on its hind legs. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy is evident in this intriguing composition. The artist's mastery of form and texture brings these ancient creatures to life, transporting us back to a time when these magnificent animals roamed the earth. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its role as a pioneering contribution to the field of paleontology and natural history. Donated by Hawkins' granddaughter, Mary Hawkins, this print remains a testament to the artist's enduring legacy and the fascinating world of extinct mammals. The depicted mammals belong to the Eutheria, a group of placental mammals that includes all modern mammals. The Therian order, which includes both marsupials and placental mammals, is further represented by the Xenarthra order, which includes the sloths. This artwork continues to inspire awe and fascination among scientists, artists, and history enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the rich diversity of the natural world that once was.
