• Resumen

  • Wilson features a colorful images of prehistoric creatures from the book Paleoart. In gorgeous art nouveau technicolour, ichthyosaurs are depicted soaring over the waves like dolphins. Also on display are an airborne pteranodon and a land-dwelling edaphosaurus (bottom right), shown with spines rather than a sail as it is usually drawn nowadays. The originals of these images once adorned the walls of an aquarium in Berlin, in murals created by Heinrich Harder in 1913. They were lost when the aquarium's walls were destroyed by bombs in the second world war.
