EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a Diplodocus, an iconic member of the Diplodocid family of sauropod dinosaurs, as illustrated by the renowned German artist and book illustrator, Heinrich Harder. Dating back to the Late Jurassic period, around 155 to 153 million years ago, Diplodocus is one of the most well-known dinosaurs, renowned for its elongated body and distinctive features. Heinrich Harder's illustration, titled "Diplodocus," is taken from his seminal work, "Tiere der Urwelt – Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg, Germany, in 1916. Harder, born in 1858, was not only a landscape artist but also an accomplished book illustrator, whose works were celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy. The Diplodocus in this illustration is shown in its full glory, with its long neck stretching upwards, a series of small, pointed teeth lining its jaws, and a whip-like tail. The intricate patterns on the Diplodocus's scaly skin and the textured representation of its surroundings add to the overall charm and authenticity of the artwork. As we marvel at this historical piece, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the prehistoric world, as it was envisioned by one of the most talented artists of the early 20th century.
