Original illustration made by Czech master Burian published for the first time on a double page in the volume "The Horse" in the series Look and discover animals vol. 21 by AMZ in 1972. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, Burian began his career as a prehistoric illustrator in the early 1930s, but it was after meeting paleontologist Josef Augusta in 1935, for whose publications he served as an illustrator, that he quickly became one of the most appreciated paleoartists in the world, so much so that in 2017 he was honored to give his name to a new dinosaur specimen found in the Czech Republic, the Burianosaurus. A museum piece by one of the greatest European illustrators of the 20th century. Slight creases at the edges. Signed.
