EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Hugo Wolff-Maage, we witness a scene straight out of the prehistoric world, as a Predatory Megalosaurus engages in a gruesome yet essential act of survival. The Megalosaurus, a member of the Allosaurus genus, is depicted in the midst of feeding on the corpse of a large herbivorous dinosaur, likely a Brontosaurus or a similar giant grazing creature. The vegetation-rich swampy landscape of North America during the Cretaceous period serves as the backdrop to this scene, with the Megalosaurus standing victoriously over its kill, its powerful jaws clamped down on the dinosaur's carcass. The Megalosaurus's predatory instincts are on full display, as it savors the nutrients from its hard-earned meal. The herbivorous dinosaur, with its towering frame and long neck, lies motionless in the swamp, its life force extinguished. The scene is a stark reminder of the harsh realities of life in the prehistoric world, where survival was a constant struggle. The illustration also showcases the diverse range of marine and terrestrial creatures that inhabited the Earth during the Cretaceous period. The swampy landscape is teeming with life, from the Megalosaurus and the herbivorous dinosaur to various aquatic creatures, including marine reptiles and fish. The intricate details in the illustration, from the textures of the dinosaur's scales to the ripples in the water, transport us back in time to an era long gone. This illustration by Hugo Wolff-Maage, from Wilhelm Bolsche's "Prehistoric Life," is a testament to the rich history of zoology, paleontology, and art. It provides us with a glimpse into the prehistoric world, allowing us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of the creatures that once roamed the Earth.
