description

Summary

E.D. Cope's original sketch of Amphicoelias altus, which according to the label he considered synonymous with both Brontosaurus and Camarasaurus, intended as reference material for Charles R. Knight's illustration of Amphicoelias. Completed shortly before Cope's death in 1897.

Charles R. Knight, who lived from 1874 to 1953, is famous for his ground-breaking depictions of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, and wildlife in general. Millions of people are exposed annually to this artist's works in major institutions around the world including the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
