Pterosaurs and Prehistoric Birds 1961 Book: Pterosaurs and Prehistoric Birds Authors: Josef Augusta and Zdenek Burian Language: German Publisher: Artia Year: 1961 (1st edition) Condition: Good used condition Pterosaurs and Prehistoric Birds is a 105-page book, bound in half linen. The colour illustrations were painted by the Czech artist Zdenek Burian, the text is by Josef Augusta. The book is in good condition with light signs of use and an inscription on the flyleaf. 6 of these large-format, splendid colour volumes were published in the 1960s by Artia Verlag in Prague and were released there simultaneously in several languages (Czech, German, English, French, Spanish). Prehistoric Animals and Prehistoric Man can still be found today, if you bring a little patience to the search. These two books were also often released by other publishers as licensed editions. In doing so, only the publisher details in the imprint were changed, and sometimes different images were used for the dust jackets. The Book of Mammoths and Giants of the Prehistoric Continents and Seas are considerably rarer. Probably the rarest is Reptiles of the Ancient Seas. The slightly smaller book Pterosaurs and Prehistoric Birds is rare, but does occasionally turn up. All 6 books share the fantastic and impressive illustrations of Zdenek Burian (1905-1981), who expressively captured his visions on canvas. For a long time, his visual visions shaped the perception of dinosaurs in Europe. Tags: zdenek burian, urzeit, dinosaurier, josef augusta, artia verlag
