EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Restoration of Animals from the Tertiary Period," is an original masterpiece by the renowned English sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The print, donated by his granddaughter Mary Hawkins, showcases a stunning collection of animals that once roamed the Earth during the Tertiary period, which spanned from approximately 66 to 2.6 million years ago. The centerpiece of this mesmerizing artwork is a giant ground sloth, a member of the Megatheriidae family and the genus Megatherium. This extinct mammal, also known as the megathere or the pilosa, is depicted with its distinctive, thick covering of hair and sharp claws. With a body length of up to 6 meters (20 feet), this placental mammal, belonging to the Therian order, was one of the largest animals in its time. Surrounding the ground sloth are various other fascinating creatures from the Tertiary period. Some of these animals, like the three-toed sloth and the armadillo, are still alive today, while others, such as the saber-toothed tiger and the woolly rhinoceros, are now extinct. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, a pioneer in the field of prehistoric animal reconstruction, created this artwork during the mid-19th century. His groundbreaking work paved the way for future scientists and artists to explore the rich history of Earth's diverse fauna. The intricate details and lifelike quality of this artwork continue to captivate viewers and inspire awe, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of animals that once existed during the Tertiary period.
