EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Protorohippus or Orohippus" from the renowned publication "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg in 1910, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient past. The image, created by the skilled hand of F. John, depicts Protorohippus or Orohippus, an extinct ancestor of the modern horse, which roamed the Earth during the Eocene epoch. With its delicate features and graceful build, this creature appears almost equine, yet its small size and distinctly different skull structure distinguish it from its modern descendants. Protorohippus or Orohippus is considered a transitional fossil, bridging the gap between the early, more mammal-like Eohippus and the more horse-like Mesohippus. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of life on Earth, and the intricate evolutionary pathways that have led to the diverse array of creatures that inhabit our planet today.
