Parker's work is technically pretty impressive, even if he was obviously heavily influenced by Zdenek Burian. The 'frontispiece' is Parker's Triceratops, standing alone, drinking from a puddle. However, this museum-sanctioned book - note that the Natural History Museum was still officially a department of the British Museum at the time - offers plenty of fascinating tidbits in the text, including some commentary on the creatures as depicted in Parker's work, which makes it very interesting in itself. Allow me to admit the following from the start: this entry should probably be entitled 'Vintage Dinosaur Art: Neave Parker', for it is Parker's monochromatic art that is used to liven up this rather unassuming little book dating from 1974.
