1857 Zimmermans The Primitive World 1857 Zimmermans The Primitive World
1857 Engraved chromo lithograph frontispiece by Pannemaker from the French translation Edition of Zimmermans " Le Monde avant la Creation de L" Homme". It shows a long necked plesiosaur threatening what is possibly a mososaur (but may simply be a mash of Martin/Mantell reconstructions) while an iguanodon looks on from a rock (identifiable from its nose horn, which is now known to be a thumb spike). A pterosaur flies overhead, though its conception is rather bat-like, perhaps following Edward Newman (in The Zoologist, 1843) that they might be marsupial bats rather than flying reptiles. The volcanoes in the background signify Zimmermans thesis that these were violent worlds prone to Cuvierian catastrophe and global extinction

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, a time when the world of prehistoric creatures was still shrouded in mystery. The engraving, titled "1857 Zimmermans The Primitive World" is a chromo lithograph frontispiece created by Pannemaker for the French translation Edition of Zimmerman's book "Le Monde avant la Creation de L'Homme". In this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to an ancient world teeming with life and danger. A long-necked plesiosaur looms menacingly over what appears to be a mosasaur or a combination of Martin/Mantell reconstructions. Meanwhile, an iguanodon observes from atop a rocky perch, its distinctive nose horn catching our attention. Above them all soars a pterosaur, though its portrayal leans towards bat-like features rather than the traditional image of flying reptiles. This interpretation aligns with Edward Newman's theory that these creatures might have been marsupial bats instead. The backdrop showcases towering volcanoes, symbolizing Zimmerman's thesis that these primeval worlds were prone to catastrophic events and global extinctions - ideas influenced by Cuvierian theories prevalent at the time. Paul D. Stewart expertly captures this remarkable artwork from Owen's illustration collection. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the scientific significance but also the artistic beauty inherent in these reconstructions of dinosaurs and other extinct species.
