Retro dinosaur

What's left to say about Zdeněk Burian? One of the all-time Grand Masters of palaeoart, Burian's paintings have enthralled generations, and have no doubt inspired countless children to become palaeontologists and/or palaeoartists themselves; David's also posted on him once before (please forgive me for covering some of the same ground). Life before Man, with text from Zdeněk Špinar, provides a breathtaking collection of his very best work in which dinosaurs do not completely dominate (which…

Not every kids' dinosaur book of the early 1970s featured lumpen and entirely static mounds of flesh dotted around belching volcanoes. Album of Dinosaurs - from 1972 - is a beautifully illustrated (by Rod Ruth) and sizeable book that's absolutely dedicated to dinosaurs being exciting animals. Yes, there's a fair amount of volcanic activity and typically, er, loose interpretations of the animals' anatomy, but this is still a fantastic book for the time. Of course, in many ways this remains a…

Contrary to the beliefs of some - who seem to think that I collect these books by holding a net out of the window and reciting an arcane incantation until obsolete illustrations start falling from the clouds - I do actually physically own the vast majority of the books I review in Vintage Dinosaur Art. As time goes on, finding fresh old books and not paying through the nose becomes increasingly difficult. Praise be, then, to the Amnesty International book shop in Brighton, which is where I…

Named just a year after Megalosaurus, in 1825, Iguanodon has remained a fairly iconic dinosaur ever since. Discovered in a different region of Southeast England, its fossilized teeth were soon...

This famousTyrannosaurus painting — today known to be inaccurate in some ways — was done by artist Charles R. Knight 1906 for New York’s American Museum of Natural History under the direction of museum paleontologist and director, Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn. Knight based his Tyrannosaurus painting directly on this somewhat incorrect reconstruction of the dinosaur’s skeleton published […]
