About this product

Product Information

Rudolph Zallinger's 110-foot (33.5-meter) fresca secco painting of The Age of Reptiles is one of the largest natural history murals in the world. Completed in 1947, it is an overview of prehistoric life told through the principal features and concepts of The Age of Reptiles. The mural has defined our view of the prehistoric world, and continues to teach, inform and spark the imagination of thousands of visitors that walk through the Yale Peabody Museum's Great Hall each year, as well as to admirers around the world over through countless reproductions in publications and textbooks. This second edition of the Peabody's guide to Zallinger's masterwork is a compilation of earlier material and new information--including Vincent Scully's classic essay on the mural's place in the history of art--contributed by the staff and scientists of the Yale Peabody Museum. Filled with full color illustrations throughout, the concealed spiral paperback includes updated descriptions and identifying illustrations of the animals and plants depicted in the mural keyed to a 12 page foldout full-color poster that is bound into the book.

  • Superb overview of one of the most iconic visual works in natural history.

    I bought this book because it was the official guide to the famous Age of Reptiles mural at the Yale Peabody Museum. Ever since I first found the 7 Sept. 1953 issue of LIFE magazine in my grandparents garage at age 5, fueling a lifelong love of prehistoric animals, I have been collecting information on this mural and pop culture reproductions of it. That being said, this is an excellent book. Although Zallinger's images are seriously outdated, they were state-of-the-art at the time. The guide brings up to date on discoveries that have been made in the decades since The Age of Reptiles was painted and there is a lot very good information on the artist Rudolph Zallinger and the making of the mural. Lastly, the book includes a very long pullout reproduction of the entire work.

  • Best dinosaur painting ever

    The Zallinger mural is the greatest dinosaur painting ever completed. This volume is extra large and so the pull out mural reproduction is particularly satisfying. Highly recommended
