EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Wild Horses of the Later Tertiary Era, Extinct," is a breathtaking depiction of an extinct genus of horses, Equus ferus, as rendered by the skilled hand of German artist and illustrator Heinrich Harder. Created in 1916, this illustration is a stunning example of the naturalistic artistry that characterized the turn of the 20th century. Harder's illustration transports us back in time to the Later Tertiary era, an age marked by the emergence of diverse and fascinating creatures, including these magnificent wild horses. The horses are depicted in their natural habitat, with lush vegetation and a serene landscape in the background. Their powerful builds and flowing manes evoke a sense of strength and grace, making it easy to imagine them roaming the open plains of the prehistoric world. Equus ferus, also known as Hipparion, was a genus of horses that lived during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene epochs, around 10-5 million years ago. These horses were smaller than their modern-day counterparts, with slender legs and a more elongated snout. Despite their differences, they share a close ancestry with today's horses, making this illustration a poignant reminder of the rich history that connects us to these magnificent creatures. Heinrich Harder's "Wild Horses of the Later Tertiary Era, Extinct" is a beautiful and educational piece that showcases the artistry and scientific curiosity of the early 20th century. As we admire the intricate details and vibrant colors of this illustration, we are reminded of the importance of preserving the natural world and the fascinating creatures that inhabit it, both past and present.
