1857 Engraved chromo lithograph frontispiece by Pannemaker from the French translation Edition of Zimmerman's \Le Monde avant la Creation de L\"Homme\". It shows a long necked plesiosaur threatening what is possibly a mososaur (but may simply be a mash of Martin/Mantell reconstructions) while an iguanodon looks on from a rock (identifiable from its nose horn, which is now known to be a thumb spike). A pterosaur flies overhead, though its conception is rather bat-like, perhaps following Edward Newman (in 'The Zoologist', 1843) that they might be marsupial bats rather than flying reptiles. The volcanoes in the background signify Zimmerman's thesis that these were violent worlds prone to Cuvierian catastrophe and global extinction."
