Poster suggestions

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I've cleaned up my room and got a empty space on my walls, I'd like to hang a nice paleontology themed poster but I can't decide on any, be it a reconstruction, Victorian plates,  informative posters such as geological scales or maps. 

Thanks for any tip.

How about a piece by Ernst Haeckel. He drew many different types of fossils.

 

His book Kunstformen der Natur (1900) here:

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

I second Ernst Haeckel. My 2020 wall calendar was all his prints so in January this year I cut each page out to make my own posters. Excuse the poor lighting and photography but it looks quite nice in real life

+2 on the Ernest Haeckel. I have them at home and in my office. They are all so beautiful, it can be hard to choose.

Thanks, 

Great suggestion, I think I'll go with an artwork of  Ernest Heakel and maybe one from my country.

I would check out the artwork of Douglas Henderson.  I have a print of a Devonian marine scene he did and have been thinking of getting the one with the plesiosaur and the big shark (Cretoxyrhina).
