EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration, titled "Hatteria or Tuatara from New Zealand," is a stunning representation of a living-fossil reptile native to the islands of New Zealand. Depicted in vibrant colors, this prehistoric creature, illustrated by the renowned German artist and book illustrator, Heinrich Harder, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the ancient world. Heinrich Harder, born in 1858, was a prolific artist and illustrator, best known for his landscapes and natural history illustrations. His work appeared in numerous publications, including "Tiere der Urwelt" or "Animals of the Prehistoric World," published in Hamburg, Germany, in 1916. This particular illustration is a masterpiece from that collection. The Tuatara, represented in this image, is a unique and intriguing reptile, with a long, flat body, a distinct crest on its head, and a pair of large, piercing eyes. With its ancient appearance and unusual features, it has long been considered a living fossil, a link to the distant past. The Tuatara is native to New Zealand and is one of the few surviving members of the Rhynchocephalian order, which dates back to the Triassic period, over 200 million years ago. Despite its ancient lineage, this remarkable creature continues to thrive in its native habitat, offering a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Earth's biosphere. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the captivating beauty of the Tuatara but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. As we marvel at the intricacies of this prehistoric reptile, we are reminded of the endless wonders that await us in the natural world and the importance of continuing to explore and learn from the past.
