PCT4262430 engraving by Gustave Dore around 1850: evocation of an apocalyptic deluge following which various monstrous animals have fallen on the mountain. Illustration of the book by Hippolyte Taine " Journey to the Pyrenees", in which the presence of fossil bones in this region is evoked. Extract from the text: "The Ocean moved, perhaps by the rise of America; from the southwest a sea came down on the chain. The shock fell on the black hipped barrier that was seen towards Gavarnie. It was a terrible destruction of marine animals. Their corpses form the shellfish banks that we cross as we ascend to the Breche; several layers of the Taillon and Mont Perdu are still fetides dead fields." by Dore, Gustave (1832-83); (add.info.: engraving by Gustave Dore around 1850: evocation of an apocalyptic deluge following which various monstrous animals have fallen on the mountain.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Dore, created around 1850, is a haunting evocation of an apocalyptic deluge that has swept over the mountains. Monstrous animals lie scattered across the landscape, their twisted forms a stark reminder of the destructive power of nature. This illustration comes from the book "Journey to the Pyrenees" by Hippolyte Taine, which explores the presence of fossil bones in this region.
Dore's intricate detailing and dramatic composition bring to life the chaos and devastation wrought by this cataclysmic event. The scene is both awe-inspiring and terrifying, drawing viewers into a world where ancient forces reign supreme.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the aftermath of a primordial disaster. The text accompanying the image describes how the ocean surged forth, unleashing its fury upon the mountain range and leaving behind a trail of death and destruction.
Through Dore's skillful handiwork, we are given a glimpse into a prehistoric world filled with mystery and wonder. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of our planet's tumultuous history and its enduring ability to astonish us with its secrets hidden within rock and bone.
