EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Extinct Ceratodus latissimus among reeds on the ocean floor" takes us back to the depths of prehistoric times. Created by German landscape artist and book illustrator Heinrich Harder in 1908, this print showcases a scene from the middle Triassic to late Cretaceous period. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported to an underwater world where a majestic Ceratodus latissimus lungfish gracefully glides through a bed of reeds. The name Ceratodus comes from Greek, meaning "horned tooth" which aptly describes its unique dental structure. The attention to detail in this color printed illustration is remarkable. Every scale on the lungfish's body is meticulously depicted, capturing its ancient beauty and power. This artwork was part of Wilhelm Bolsches Tiere der Urwelt (Animals of the Prehistoric World), published by Reichardt Cocoa company in Hamburg. Heinrich Harder's talent shines through as he brings this extinct creature back to life with his brushstrokes. Through his work, we gain insight into Earth's history and marvel at the diversity that once thrived beneath our oceans' surface. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our planet's natural wonders and understanding our past. It serves as a reminder that even though these creatures may be long gone, their legacy lives on through art and scientific exploration.
