Scenes from Deep Time: Early Pictorial Representations of the Prehistoric World
I was happy to learn about the critical 1830-1860 period with the publication of the earliest "scene from deep time" by De La Beche (Duria antiquior, 1830) and its links to Mary Anning and Buckland, the 3D dinosaur models built for the 1851 Great Exhibition (at the famous Crystal Palace, London), or Louis Figuier's Earth Before The Deluge (1863). However the text could have been condensed. It was often boring and it felt that it had been written for experts in art and history of science rather than for the layman. Too bad also that it's entirely in b&w, knowing that some of the depicted scenes were originally watercolors.
