    Cover of All Yesterdays

    All Yesterdays

    John Conway, C.M. Kösemen, Darren Naish · 2012

    "This is a book about the way we see dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Lavishly illustrated with over sixty original artworks, All Yesterdays aims to challenge our notions of how prehistoric animals looked and behaved. As a critical exploration of palaeontological art, All Yesterdays asks questions about what is probable, what is possible, and what is commonly ignored"--P. [4] of cover.

      Many of those illustrations are by C.M. Kosemen, from the book All Yesterdays [1], which is fantastic.

      I recommend people to read this book: All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals, by palaeoartists C.M. Kosemen and John Conway — https://www.amazon.com/a/dp/1291177124 it shows how inaccurate are depictions of prehistoric animals taking as an example the reconstruction of the body of modern fauna through their skeletons.
