EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Woolly Mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, Elephas primigenius" by F. John, was published in the book "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," which was released in Hamburg, Germany, in 1910. The illustration showcases the enigmatic and extinct creature, the Woolly Mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, also known as Elephas primigenius. This majestic beast, with its shaggy fur, long curved tusks, and small, rounded ears, is depicted in a lifelike and detailed manner, transporting us back to the icy landscapes of the Pleistocene epoch. The Woolly Mammoth was a large proboscidean, a close relative of modern-day elephants, that roamed the northern hemisphere during the last Ice Age, around 700,000 to 4,000 years ago. With their thick fur, they were well-adapted to the harsh and frigid climate, making them a dominant presence in the ecosystem. This illustration, part of the rich historical record of the natural world, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of creatures that have long since vanished from our planet. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph, a popular printing technique of the time, further enhance the allure of this prehistoric titan, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history art.
