EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork transports us back in time to the Jurassic Period, a world teeming with prehistoric creatures that once roamed what is now North Yorkshire, England. The lush forest depicted in this print provides a glimpse into an ancient ecosystem filled with fascinating flora and fauna. In the foreground, we are greeted by a magnificent megalosaur, its powerful presence commanding attention. Moving our gaze upward, two colossal sauropods gracefully traverse the landscape, their immense size dwarfing everything around them. A pterodactyl soars above, casting its shadow over the scene below as it surveys its domain from above. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond the creatures themselves; they have also captured the diversity of plant life during this era. Horsetails stand tall alongside cycads and bennettitalians while ginkgos add splashes of vibrant green throughout the forest. A crocodilian known as a gavial lurks near a tranquil stream, patiently waiting for an unsuspecting fish to swim by. Insects such as dragonflies flit about in search of nectar or prey amidst this primeval setting. This stunning illustration not only showcases these long-extinct species but also serves as a reminder of Earth's ever-evolving history. It invites us to marvel at the wonders that once existed on our planet millions of years ago and sparks our curiosity about how life has evolved since then.
