EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink sketch, original artwork by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, showcases a dynamic and intriguing scene of a group of extinct mammals in battle. The illustration features a diverse assemblage of proboscideans, or proboscidean mammals, including an elephant (Elephas primigenius), an elephantid (Mammuthus primigenius, or woolly mammoth), and an elephantoid (Mammuthus, or mammoth). Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, a renowned British artist, expertly captured the unique anatomy and behavior of these magnificent creatures, which are now extinct. The placement of the animals in this scene suggests a fierce confrontation, highlighting their impressive size and power. The mammals in this sketch belong to the larger group of placental mammals, which are characterized by the presence of a placenta during gestation. The proboscideans, specifically, are further classified under the order of Theria and the suborder of Proboscidea. This historical sketch is a testament to Waterhouse Hawkins' exceptional talent and his dedication to accurately depicting the natural world. The artwork was kindly donated by his granddaughter, Mary Hawkins, and serves as a valuable addition to our understanding of the natural history of these fascinating mammals. The intricate details and expressive lines in this pen and ink sketch bring the animals to life, allowing us to appreciate their majesty and the awe they inspired in those who encountered them during their time on Earth.
