EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Au lieu de Paris, c etait la mer. . . des pterodactyles aux larges ailes sautaient dans le ciel" transports us back to a time long before the existence of humans. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork showcases an imaginative scene where instead of Paris, there is a vast sea teeming with life. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the majestic pterodactyls with their wide wingspans gracefully soaring through the sky. These ancient reptiles, known for their ability to fly, add an element of awe and wonder to the composition. Their presence reminds us of a world dominated by prehistoric creatures that once roamed our planet. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke and line of this engraving. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate textures and patterns on these magnificent creatures as they navigate above the shimmering waters. This illustration originally served as part of Camille Flammarion's book "Le Monde avant La Creation de L Homme" published in 1886. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when dinosaurs ruled both land and sea. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity throughout history. It serves as a testament to our fascination with prehistory and invites us to imagine what it would have been like if pterodactyls still graced our skies
