EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the monumental year of 1824 in the field of palaeontology. The image showcases an uncoloured, double quarto plate XL featuring the jaw and teeth of Buckland's Megalosaurus, drawn by the talented Mary Moreland. This remarkable illustration was published in William Buckland's "Notice on the Megalosaurus or great Fossil Lizard of Stonesfield" within the Transactions of the Geological Society of London. In this volume, two groundbreaking scientific discoveries unfolded before our eyes. Firstly, Buckland presented his first-ever scientific description of a dinosaur - none other than Megalosaurus itself. Secondly, Conybeare validated long-necked Plesiosaurs and provided scientific reconstructions for both Plesiosaurs and Ichthyosaurs. Mary Moreland, who sketched these plates with utmost precision and artistry, would later become Rev. Buckland's wife. Little did they know that these very bones would serve as Richard Owen's foundation for reconstructing Megalosaurus for Waterhouse Hawkins' iconic Crystal Palace reconstructions in 1854. Today, visitors can still marvel at this extraordinary jaw on display at Oxford Museum - a testament to its enduring significance in our understanding of prehistoric life. This illustration from the 19th century transports us back to a time when dinosaurs were just beginning to be unveiled by pioneering scientists like Buckland and Conybeare – forever shaping our fascination with these ancient creatures.
