Prehistoric Worlds - The Murals of Charles R. Knight (Calendar, 2007 ed.)

For millions of museumgoers, Charles R. Knight's vivid murals have brought to life dinosaurs, mammoths, and other creatures from our planet's distant past. A pioneer in reconstructing animals from fossil records, Knight (American, 1874-1953) collaborated closely with paleontologists to create scientifically accurate anatomy and poses. His dramatic yet authentic re-creations of prehistoric scenes have helped authors, artists, students, professional paleontologists, and even science fiction filmmakers imagine how these animals might have lived. This calendar's colorful assortment ofprehistoric vistas comes from Chicago's Field Museum, home to the world's largest collection of Knight murals.
