No offense to Mr Wilson who was a great palaeoartist, but his restoration 
surely is inaccurate based on recent findings (eg the number of 
digits).  See 
http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/tree/eukaryotes/animals/chordata/ichthyostega/ichthyostega.html. 
For a more recent illustration you could try 
http://gallery.in-tch.com/~earthhistory/devonian%20page.html, but the 
animal is almost invisible in Douglas Henderson's landscape!  See also 
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/Paleonet/PalAss/pages/archive/bookreviews31.html 
for contrasting restorations.
