1866 Waterhouse Hawkins model dinosaurs

Henry Ward sold scale model copies in America of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins life sized sculptures of prehistoric reptiles at Sydenham Crystal Palace UK (1855). Both profited from the venture.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable 1866 Waterhouse Hawkins model dinosaurs, a groundbreaking achievement in the world of paleontology. Featured on page 80 of Henry Ward's Catalogue of Casts of Fossils, these meticulously restored fossil reptiles were initially created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for display at Sydenham Crystal Palace in the United Kingdom back in 1855. Henry Ward recognized the immense value and appeal of these life-sized sculptures and began selling scale model copies across America. While they were not intended as toys but rather museum or academic displays, both Waterhouse Hawkins and Ward reaped significant profits from this venture. The image captures an array of prehistoric creatures that once roamed our planet millions of years ago. From the majestic Plesiosaur to the mighty Iguanodon and fearsome Megalosaurus, each intricate detail is faithfully reproduced in this stunning illustration. These models marked a pivotal moment in commercial science, revolutionizing how we understand and appreciate dinosaurs. They provided scientists with invaluable insights into ancient ecosystems while capturing public imagination like never before. Paul D. Stewart's masterful artistry brings these long-extinct creatures to life once more through his monochrome depiction. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with Earth's distant past and our relentless pursuit to uncover its mysteries through fossil restoration.
