 In the latter half of the 1800s, this major shift could be seen in other developments taking place in academic books and paintings featuring scientific restorations of prehistoric life.For example, a book by French scientist Louis Figuier titled "La Terre Avant le Deluge", published in 1863, was the first to feature a series of works of paleoart documenting life through time.Illustrated by French painter Édouard Riou, this book featured iconic scenes of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals based on Owen's constructions, and would establish a template for academic books featuring artworks of prehistoric life through time for years to come.
