EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1/20 life-size model of the Iguanodon, created by the renowned English sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins in 1854, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of prehistoric creatures that once roamed our Earth. Commissioned under the supervision of Professor Sir Richard Owen, this masterpiece measures 40cm in length and was an early representation of the Iguanodon, a dinosaur from the Cretaceous period. The Iguanodon, a member of the Archosauria class, was one of the first dinosaurs to be formally named and described. This bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur is recognized for its distinctive features, including its large thumb spike, elongated snout, and small forelimbs. The Iguanodon is classified under the suborder Ankylopollexia, order Ornithischia, and the superorder Ornithischia, which includes dinosaurs characterized by their armor-like structures. Waterhouse Hawkins' Iguanodon model is an essential piece of 19th-century dinosaur history. It was created during a time when the scientific community was just beginning to understand the existence and nature of dinosaurs. The model's intricate details and lifelike appearance were groundbreaking, providing a tangible representation of these extinct creatures for the public. This photograph captures the essence of Waterhouse Hawkins' masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the Iguanodon and the artist's skill in bringing a creature from the Cretaceous period to life. The model's placement on a wooden pedestal adds to its historical significance, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of dinosaur discovery and the artistry of the 19th century.
