EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the extinct Woolly Rhinoceros, Coelodonta antiquitatis, as illustrated by the renowned German artist and book illustrator, Heinrich Harder. The image is taken from his publication "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg in 1916. The Woolly Rhinoceros was a large, robust creature that roamed the steppes of Eurasia during the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 700,000 to 10,000 years ago. This majestic beast was covered in thick fur, which kept it warm during the harsh winters of its icy habitat. Its powerful body, characterized by a large hump over its shoulders, two long horns, and a short, hooked horn above its nose, made it a formidable presence. Harder's illustration masterfully captures the essence of this prehistoric creature, transporting us back in time to the icy landscapes of the Pleistocene era. The meticulous attention to detail in the fur texture, the intricacies of the horns, and the lifelike expression in the rhino's eyes are all testament to Harder's exceptional artistic skills. Harder's work, "Tiere der Urwelt," was a groundbreaking publication that brought the prehistoric world to life for a fascinated public. This illustration of the Woolly Rhinoceros is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical record of a creature that once roamed our planet. Heinrich Harder (1858-1935) was a prolific artist and illustrator, known for his landscapes and natural history illustrations. His work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the wonders of our planet's past.
