EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Ancient Coral Reefs," is a stunning creation by the renowned German artist and book illustrator, Heinrich Harder. Dated back to 1916, this illustration was originally published in his book "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," which was published in Hamburg. Harder's masterful use of color and detail brings to life a scene of ancient coral reefs teeming with a variety of extinct creatures. The vibrant hues of the corals contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the surrounding underwater landscape. The intricate details of the corals and the diverse array of prehistoric creatures that inhabit them transport us back in time to an era long gone. Harder's illustration showcases a rich and diverse ecosystem that once thrived in the oceans millions of years ago. Among the ancient creatures depicted in this illustration, we can identify some that were contemporaries of the dinosaurs, such as the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, gliding gracefully through the water. This illustration is a testament to Harder's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep understanding of the natural world. It is a reminder of the wonders that once existed and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to marvel at. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this illustration continues to captivate and inspire us, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of ancient coral reefs and the creatures that once called them home.
