jan 1, 1941 - Mammoth (Elephas primigenius)

Description:

Burian began taking frequent camping trips to immerse himself in the natural world and in 1935, met paleontologist Josef Augusta, who recognised Burian’s talent and imagination. Burian would go on to illustrate many of Augusta’s books on prehistory, rendering extinct animals with creative flair. Actually not an illustration of a dinosaur, but of a mammoth, as the title suggests.
