EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print captures the essence of Professor Sir Richard Owen, FRS, KCB, a renowned naturalist and author from the 19th century. Created by the talented artist Spy as part of his "Men of the Day" series, this particular piece is titled "Old Bones". In this caricature-like image, we see Professor Owen donning a top hat and dressed in formal attire that reflects his esteemed position within academia. With a thin frame and walking stick in hand, he exudes an air of wisdom and authority. The attention to detail extends to his footwear - sturdy boots that hint at his adventurous spirit. Professor Sir Richard Owen was not only known for his scientific contributions but also for challenging Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work on evolution with his own theories. His numerous roles included being appointed as the first Hunterian Professor of Comparative Anatomy and Physiology at Oxford University. Additionally, he served as the second Conservator of the Hunterian Museum and Director of Natural History at the British Museum. This lithograph print serves as a testament to Professor Owen's significant impact on both science and academia during his time.
