EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Extinct Animals model room at Crystal Palace, Sydenham. The image showcases a remarkable display of meticulously crafted models of dinosaurs being prepared for exhibition by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, a renowned figure in the field of palaeontology. It is evident that this room was a hub of scientific discovery and wonder. The photograph captures the essence of Victorian Britain's fascination with science and geology. The Crystal Palace, an architectural marvel itself, served as the perfect backdrop for showcasing these extinct creatures from prehistoric times. Every detail on these dinosaur models reflects Hawkins' dedication to accuracy and his deep understanding of these ancient beings. As we gaze upon this wood engraving from The Illustrated London News dated December 31,1853, we are transported to an era when scientific exploration was at its peak. This image not only highlights the artistry involved in creating such lifelike models but also reminds us of our curiosity about Earth's history. It is fascinating to imagine visitors walking through this room, their eyes wide with awe as they marveled at these magnificent creatures that once roamed our planet millions of years ago. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our never-ending quest for knowledge about the world around us. In today's context, it allows us to appreciate how far we have come in understanding extinct animals while also reminding us that there is still so much more left to discover about our planet's rich geological past.
