Framed Wood Engraving Print
Black Framed Print with a ivory mat. Print is done in black and white. A God Like figure is shown at the top with head and arms showing through clouds. His arms are stretched wide with his palms open and facing the viewer. Below, 16 different types of dinosaurs and other extinct species from that era are looking toward the figure and seem to be floating toward it. An angel in the upper—right portion of the scene points toward the God—like figure and 8 cherubs are shown throughout the scene prodding the various dinosaur species up. At the bottom, the full moon has sunk half—way into a ridge of mountains. At the bottom of the scene, "What really happened to the dinosaurs, 9/25, D. DeArmond — imp @94" is written in pencil.
The brown paper covered back has a white "Certificate of Authority" paper glued to it though it is coming up in some places. The certificate include the artists, title, medium, block size, paper, record of printing and comments:
