EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "A Sawrian" captures a humorous scene that combines paleontology with comedy. The illustration was originally created by an English School artist for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1836. In this comical depiction, we see a prehistoric creature known as a Sawrian, which is part dinosaur and part saw. Its body consists of bones and fossilized remains, giving it an intriguing appearance. The engraver has skillfully captured the essence of this primeval creature while adding a touch of humor to the image. The artwork showcases the creativity and imagination prevalent during the 19th century when people were fascinated by fossils and prehistoric life. It reflects both scientific curiosity about ancient creatures and society's love for comedic entertainment. The detailed engravings highlight various aspects of this unique creature, including its bone structure, megalithic features, and prehistoric origins. This piece serves as a reminder of how far our understanding of paleontology has come since then. With its blend of science fiction-like elements and wit, "A Sawrian" continues to captivate viewers even today. This print offers us a glimpse into the artistic style prevalent in the late nineteenth century while also reminding us that humor can be found in unexpected places – even within ancient history itself.
