1888 colour litho of Jurassic dinosaurs
19th century lithograph of a Jurassic landscape including the dinosaurs: Megalosaurus (1), Iguanodon (2 with incorrect nose spike), Hylaeosaurus (3 with incorrect orientation of spines) Laelaps (4 now Dryptosaurus, an early North American discovery). Mososaurs and Elasmosaurs in background. Vivid colour lithograph for " Dr. Schuberts Naturgeschichte - Geologie, Mineralreich, Palaontologie". Published in Stuttgart by J.F. Shreiber. The palaeontology section by Dr. Friedrich Rolle. German lithographers dominated colour lithography with their high volume productions such as this book for Children. The late Jurassic Solnhofen limestones used to lithograph these German prints sometimes contained finely preserved fossils of the very epoch they illustrated. Note, for example, the pterodactyle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant 1888 colour lithograph takes us back to the Jurassic era, showcasing a breathtaking landscape teeming with prehistoric life. The print, part of "Dr. Schuberts Naturgeschichte - Geologie, Mineralreich, Palaontologie", was published in Stuttgart by J. F. Shreiber and features the palaeontology section curated by Dr. Friedrich Rolle. German lithographers were renowned for their mastery of colour lithography, and this book for children exemplifies their high volume productions. The illustration captures the essence of the late Jurassic period using Solnhofen limestones that sometimes contained exquisitely preserved fossils from that very epoch. In this mesmerizing panorama, we are introduced to various dinosaurs such as Megalosaurus (1), Iguanodon (2 with an incorrect nose spike), Hylaeosaurus (3 with spines oriented inaccurately), and Laelaps (4 now known as Dryptosaurus). Mososaurs and Elasmosaurs lurk in the background while a majestic pterodactyle soars above. The attention to detail is astounding; every creature is meticulously reconstructed to transport us into a world long gone but forever fascinating. This artwork not only educates but also captivates our imagination, inviting us to envision what life might have been like during this ancient time. Paul D. Stewart's skillful rendering brings these extinct beings back to life through his artistic interpretation of archaeological findings. As we gaze upon this remarkable lithograph, we can't help but marvel at the wonders of Earth's history and how far our understanding has come since those early discoveries in Bavaria.
