EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece, titled "The Country of the Iguanodon," is an exquisite illustration from The Wonders of Geology, Volume 1, published in 1857 by renowned British palaeontologist Gideon Mantell. The image, created by the masterful hand of artist John Martin, invites us to journey back in time to the Cretaceous Period, approximately 150 million years ago. At the heart of this scene, the mighty Iguanodon, an extinct dinosaur discovered by Mantell in England, takes center stage. This bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur, characterized by its long, curved claws, is depicted in a serene, daytime setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and other intriguing creatures of the era. The rich tapestry of life in the Cretaceous Period is brought to life in this illustration, with various avian and archosaurian species coexisting in harmony. The aves, or birds, are represented by graceful, feathered creatures, while the archosauria, a group that includes crocodiles and dinosaurs, are shown in various forms, from the ankylopollexians with their club-like tails to the archosauromorphs and archosauriformes. The diapsida, a group of reptiles characterized by a double-beaked skull, are also present, including the dinosauromorpha, dryomorpha, euornithopoda, genasauria, and cerapoda. The intricate details of these creatures, along with the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, serve to transport us to a world long past, where the Iguanodon and its contemporaries roamed free. This stunning work of art, a testament to the groundbreaking discoveries of Gideon Mantell and the artistic prowess of John Martin, continues to captivate and inspire us with its vivid portrayal of life during the Cretaceous Period.
