EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork showcases the majestic Giant Deer, also known as Cervus megaceros. The monochrome illustration, taken from the ninth edition of Moses and Geology by Samuel Kinns in 1886 (originally published in 1882), offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of prehistoric fauna. The image transports us back to a time when these magnificent creatures roamed the Earth. With its intricate details, we can appreciate the skill and artistry behind this historical zoological depiction. The artist's attention to anatomical accuracy allows us to study every bone and antler of this ancient mammal. As one of the largest deer species ever recorded, it is no wonder that this giant elk-like creature captivates our imagination. Its impressive antlers spanned up to twelve feet wide, making it an awe-inspiring sight for early humans who encountered them during prehistory. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast for nature enthusiasts but also holds immense scientific value. It sheds light on paleontological discoveries and contributes to our understanding of Earth's history and evolution. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply admire its beauty, this print offers a window into an era long gone but forever preserved through art and science.
