EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Woolly Mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius," is an exquisite depiction of one of the most iconic creatures of the prehistoric world. Created by the skilled hand of F. John for the publication "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg, Germany, in 1910, this illustration showcases the woolly mammoth in its prime. The woolly mammoth, a close relative of the modern-day elephant, was a large, fur-covered mammal that roamed the Arctic regions during the Pleistocene epoch, around 700,000 to 4,000 years ago. With its shaggy coat, long curved tusks, and small, rounded ears, this creature was perfectly adapted to the harsh, cold climate of the tundra. This illustration is a testament to the remarkable artistry and scientific knowledge of the early 20th century. The intricate details of the mammoth's fur, the texture of its skin, and the realistic depiction of its surroundings all contribute to a vivid and immersive representation of this extinct creature. The woolly mammoth holds a special place in the annals of history, as it is one of the few prehistoric animals whose remains have been found relatively intact, providing invaluable insights into the lives of our planet's ancient inhabitants. Today, the woolly mammoth remains an enduring symbol of the wonders of the prehistoric world and the richness of our natural history. This illustration is an essential addition to any collection of historical natural history or prehistoric animal art, and serves as a reminder of the fascinating creatures that once roamed our planet.
