Charles R. Knight was a wildlife illustrator whose calling cross the era when dinosaurs first capture the public imagination in the tardy nineteenth and early twentieth century . Unlike other nature creative person of his genesis , Knight realized that the same skills he used to capture the beauty of wild creature could be used to bring nonextant creatures to life-time . Now Abrams has bring out a gorgeous new Word of God pull together some of his most beautiful illustrations . We ’ve catch a gallery .
Working with scientist , Knight created some of the first realistic ( for the science of the era ) images of dinosaur , Pleistocene megafauna like mammoths and sabre tooth cat , and neolithic peoples . His work inspire the dinosaurs depicted in other movies King Kong , and finally came to decorate many museums ( the wooly mammoth sculptures at the La Brea Tar Pits are based on Knight ’s draftsmanship ) . Now some of his dinosaur images are out of escort — we know , for example , that most dinosaurs probably had proto - feather — but they are still iconic . And his work is splendiferous testimony to the importance of using beautiful art to illuminate scientific discoveries .
