EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print captures the awe-inspiring mammoth skeleton discovered by Dr Mitchell in 1817. Assembled in the Philadelphia Museum, this enormous prehistoric creature stands as a metaphor for the concept of something larger than life. The mammoth's skeletal structure dominates the image, showcasing its massive size and impressive tusks. This male mammoth represents an important scientific discovery that fascinated people during the 19th century. Its presence evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about our natural history. In this monochrome scene, men gather around the skeleton, emphasizing both its significance to American science and its location in Goschen, Orange County. The United States is proud to have such remarkable specimens within its borders. The print not only serves as a visual record but also highlights the collaboration between Dr Mitchell and Simeon Shaw, who documented this extraordinary find in their book "Nature Displayed". Their dedication to paleontology allows us to appreciate these ancient creatures even today. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to a time when giants roamed our country. It reminds us of our connection with Earth's past inhabitants while fueling our desire for further exploration into our planet's rich history.
