1862 Hawkins Icthyosaur & Plesiosaur. 1862 Hawkins Icthyosaur & Plesiosaur
Coloured lithograph of Plesiosaur and ichthyosaur, a contemporary continental version of the wall chart by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins entitled " Waterhouse Hawkins Diagrams of the Extinct Animals". He produced six for the Department of Science and Art. Notable here is the lack of a dorsal fin and straight (rather than correctly bilobe finned) tail of the ichthyosaur (central) - these mistakes only became apparent when skin impressions of the fins were recognised in German specimens. All these species occupied British Coasts in the Jurassic and their reconstruction was largely due to their discovery by Mary Anning and descriptions by William Conybeare.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 1862 Hawkins Ichthyosaur & Plesiosaur, a colored lithograph that forms part of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' renowned series titled "Waterhouse Hawkins Diagrams of the Extinct Animals". Commissioned by the Department of Science and Art, these six illustrations were instrumental in depicting prehistoric creatures accurately. However, this particular lithograph highlights an interesting scientific error. In the central image, we observe an ichthyosaur with a straight tail instead of its correct bilobe finned tail. Additionally, it lacks a dorsal fin. These inaccuracies were only discovered later when German specimens revealed skin impressions on their fins. Nevertheless, this artwork beautifully captures various species that once inhabited British Coasts during the Jurassic period. The reconstruction depicted here owes much to Mary Anning's discoveries and William Conybeare's detailed descriptions. Both individuals played pivotal roles in uncovering fossils and providing valuable insights into these ancient marine reptiles. The plesiosaur and ichthyosaur are just two examples among many fascinating creatures featured in this illustration. Displayed at Crystal Palace in Sydenham, this piece is not merely an artistic representation but also serves as a testament to scientific progress over time. It reminds us how our understanding evolves through continuous exploration and discovery within paleontology. Paul D. Stewart skillfully captures the essence of this historical artifact through his photography, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and educational significance for generations to come.
