1837 " Extinct Animals that once lived where Dorsetshire now is" an anonymous lithograph opposite page 5 from the American Childrens book " Wonders of Earth Sea and Sky" by Peter Parlay (nom de plume of Samuel Goodrich 1793-1860). The text notes " We are indebted for a good deal of what I have told you about the animals that once lived where Dorsetshire now is, to a lady, Miss Anning, who spends nearly her whole time in collecting fossils out of the cliffs. No one ought to go near Lyme Regis without visiting her collection"

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "1837 Extinct prehistoric animals Dorset" takes us back to a time when the world looked vastly different. Featured in the American Children's book "Wonders of Earth Sea and Sky" by Peter Parlay (a pseudonym for Samuel Goodrich), this print showcases an early fossil reconstruction of the incredible creatures that once roamed where Dorsetshire now stands. The artist, Paul D. Stewart, skillfully captures the essence of this ancient era through his meticulous restoration illustration. The monochrome tones add a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene, transporting viewers to a time long gone. Amongst these extinct wonders are iconic Jurassic creatures such as plesiosaurs, pterodactyls, and ichthyosaurs. These magnificent beings were brought to life through scientific discoveries made by notable figures like William Buckland and William Conybeare. Interestingly, the accompanying text acknowledges Miss Anning's invaluable contribution to our understanding of these prehistoric animals. Spending countless hours collecting fossils from the cliffs near Lyme Regis, she has become an authority on these long-extinct species. The author emphasizes that no visit to Lyme Regis should be complete without exploring her remarkable collection. Paul D. Stewart's evocative artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also pays homage to both Mary Anning's dedication and the pioneering efforts made in early fossil reconstruction. This print is truly a testament to humanity's endless curiosity about our planet's
