Metal Print : 1862 British Mammoth with carnivores
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
1862 British Mammoth with carnivores
Lithograph with contemporary colouring, continental version of the last wallchart produced by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the Department of Science and Art 1862. It is entitled " Pachydermata and Carnivora, that lived during the Post-Tertiary Epoch of the Earths history". The animals are numbered 1 Mammoth, Elephas primigenius. 2 Hyaena spelea. 3 Hippopotamus major. 4 Ursus speleus. 5 Machairoides latidens. The last on the list is now Machairodus, a sabre tooth cat named by Kaup 1833. The reconstructions are not far from how we imagine these animals today. The mammoth has a larger shoulder and head hump on the basis of cave drawings (Eduoard Lartet 1865), the cave bear is less like a polar bear (the head is larger in relation to the body) the sabretooth a little more lithe. This reconstruction owes much to the cave discoveries of William Buckland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Pachydermata and Carnivora, that lived during the Post-Tertiary Epoch of the Earth's history" takes us back to a time long gone. Created in 1862 by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the Department of Science and Art, this continental version is a true masterpiece. The print showcases five remarkable creatures that once roamed our planet. Numbered one on the list is the majestic Mammoth, Elephas primigenius. Its larger shoulder and head hump are based on cave drawings discovered by Eduoard Lartet in 1865. Next up is Hyaena spelea at number two, followed by Hippopotamus major at three. The fourth creature depicted here is Ursus speleus, also known as the cave bear. Unlike its polar bear counterpart, this reconstruction portrays a larger head in relation to its body. Lastly, we have Machairoides latidens or Machairodus - a sabre-tooth cat named by Kaup in 1833. This illustration captures its lithe form with precision while paying homage to William Buckland's cave discoveries. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it becomes evident how close these reconstructions align with our modern understanding of these animals. Each detail has been meticulously brought to life through contemporary coloring techniques. This extraordinary piece serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic talent from the 19th century. It allows us to appreciate Earth's rich history and marvel at the incredible diversity that once existed within it.
