EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News in 1865, showcases the remarkable discovery of the fossilized remains of an extinct animal on the Isle of Wight. The bones, discovered by the Reverend W. Fox, were identified by Professor Richard Owen as belonging to a new species of dinosaur, which he named Polacanthus. The Polacanthus was a herbivorous dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period, belonging to the Wealden formation. It is characterized by its distinctive bony plates along its back and tail, giving it a dragon-like appearance. The discovery of this dinosaur was a significant contribution to the emerging field of palaeontology, and helped scientists gain a better understanding of the diverse range of creatures that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago. The intricate detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate the size and shape of the Polacanthus' bones, providing a glimpse into the past and sparking the imagination of viewers. The discovery of this dinosaur on the Isle of Wight was just one of many important finds that have shaped our knowledge of the prehistoric world. This illustration serves as a testament to the importance of scientific exploration and discovery, and the enduring fascination that dinosaurs hold for people around the world.
