It takes me back to my childhood, especially the post about the Mysterious World of Dinosaurs, with its creepy, zombie-like dino's. Here is a link I recently came across to some seriously vintage, Victorian art by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, that may be of interest: http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/maker/5138 Yoleushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790403661672139603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-6106062992589731472015-02-13T12:23:53.276-05:002015-02-13T12:23:53.276-05:00Yes, I missed out at least one page - it had some ...Yes, I missed out at least one page - it had some rather dull semi-aquatic sauropods in it.Marc Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894846069567096349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-38028191135454622912015-02-11T15:18:33.500-05:002015-02-11T15:18:33.500-05:00I had this very thing blu-tacked up on my bedroom ...I had this very thing blu-tacked up on my bedroom wall for the whole of my childhood - I loved it!

This is noticeable in the Hadrosaur section. It says that they fed on land plants even though they're drawn in the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-64052424712769936322015-02-01T13:15:13.835-05:002015-02-01T13:15:13.835-05:00Anatomical issues aside, the paintings here are re...Anatomical issues aside, the paintings here are really, really beautiful. My favourites are the <i>Iguanodon</i> & <i>Stegosaurus</i> and (gasp) the <i>Allosaurus</i> devouring the <i>Camptosaurus.</i> Really good find, Marc. Its format, however, can't help but remind me of a certain project I missed out on. :'( *Sobs quietly*<br /><br />And yes, I do indeed <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/93/84/96/938496e2f49f37fe7bb76690727bc809.jpg" rel="nofollow">approve</a> of the dappled-leaf markings.Nateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869685234493116483noreply@blogger.com
