Book synopsis

How did the earth look in prehistoric times? Scientists and artists collaborated during the years prior to the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species" to produce the first images of dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. Their interpretations, informed by fossil discoveries, were the first efforts to represent the prehistoric world based on sources other than the Bible. This volume presents over 100 rare illustrations from the 18th and 19th centuries, with the aim of exploring the implications of reconstructing a past no one has ever seen.
