EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph is an exquisite illustration from Dr. F.A. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855 by Verlag von Krais & Hoffmann. Dr. Schmidt's Book of Petrification was a groundbreaking work that introduced fossils and palaeontology to both specialist and general readers. The illustration showcases a collection of extinct gastropods and oysters, intricately detailed and brought to life through the artful application of handcolor. Among the gastropods depicted are the ammonites, with their distinctive spiral shells, and the discus, characterized by its flat, disc-shaped shell. The oysters, including the Pecten and the Demissus, are shown in various stages of growth, their iridescent shells gleaming in the light. Also present is the Ostraa, with its elongated, fan-shaped shell, and the Calceola, a small, rounded gastropod. The illustration serves as a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the rich diversity of life that once inhabited our planet. The extinct fossil species depicted in this lithograph are a testament to the ever-changing natural world and the importance of preserving and studying our planet's history. Dr. Schmidt's Petrefactenbuch was a significant contribution to the field of palaeontology, making complex scientific concepts accessible to a wider audience. This illustration, with its meticulous attention to detail and beautiful handcoloring, is a reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world and the role that fossils play in understanding its history.
