EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Europe in the Diluvial Era," is an exquisite representation of the European landscape as imagined during the Diluvial period, a geological epoch marked by the widespread presence of ice sheets and the coexistence of various Ice Age fauna. The image is taken from Dr. Fr. Rolles' Geology and Paleontology section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886. The scene portrays a vast, icy expanse, with towering glaciers and snow-capped mountains dominating the background. Amidst the frozen wilderness, a diverse array of Ice Age animals roam the land. A Rhinoceros, its thick fur adapted to the cold climate, grazes peacefully in the foreground. A Cave Lion, with its distinctive mane and powerful build, stalks its prey. A Cave Bear, characterized by its large size and hump on its shoulders, forages for food. A Giant Deer, with its impressive antlers, browses on the sparse vegetation. A Musk Ox, with its thick coat and curved horns, stands guard over its herd. A Marmot, a burrowing rodent, scurries across the snow, and a Mammoth, the largest creature in the scene, can be seen in the distance, its long trunk reaching for the sparse foliage. The image also showcases various minerals and geological formations, adding to the scientific accuracy and educational value of the print. This chromolithograph, produced during a time when the study of geology and paleontology was in its infancy, offers a fascinating glimpse into the scientific understanding of the European landscape during the Ice Age. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print make it a stunning addition to any collection of historical scientific illustrations or natural history art. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of scientific discovery and the awe-inspiring wonders of the natural world.
