Conybeare Plesiosaurus letter & portrait. Conybeare Plesiosaurus letter & portrait
Left: Portrait William Conybeare age 65. Right: 1824 letter from William Conybeares re his first scientific reconstruction of the skeletons of plesiosaur and ichthyosaur. This accompanied his submission to the Geological Society for the " On the Discovery of an almost perfect Skeleton of the Plesiosaurus" Trans. Geol. Soc. Second Series, Volume 1, page 381-390. A partial skeleton without a head had been found by Mary Anning and described by Conybeare in 1821 but its anatomy seemed so outlandish that a fake, or misinterpretation, was suspected. It was only with this very perfect skeleton that another strange prehistoric reptile was accepted and added to the ichthyosaur and mososaur. In the letter Conybeare mentions an original drawing of the specimen by Mary Anning and implies its importance. Biographers of Anning point out she received little formal credit for her discoveries.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Conybeare Plesiosaurus letter and portrait, offering a glimpse into the world of scientific discovery in the early 19th century. On the left side, we see a detailed portrait of William Conybeare at age 65, an esteemed figure in paleontology. On the right side is a letter dated 1824 from Conybeare himself, discussing his groundbreaking work on reconstructing the skeletons of plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. The significance of this letter lies in its connection to Mary Anning, a remarkable fossil hunter who made significant contributions to paleontology but received little formal credit for her discoveries. In 1821, Anning had found a partial skeleton without a head that was initially met with skepticism due to its bizarre anatomy. However, it was with this very perfect skeleton mentioned by Conybeare that another prehistoric reptile was accepted and added to our understanding of ancient marine life. Conybeare's mention of an original drawing by Mary Anning hints at her crucial role in these discoveries. This print serves as a reminder not only of scientific achievements but also highlights the often overlooked contributions made by individuals like Anning. Paul D. Stewart's artistry brings this historical moment to life through his meticulous illustration capturing both human figures and extinct creatures such as dinosaurs and marine reptiles. It is an extraordinary piece that celebrates curiosity, exploration, and collaboration within the field of paleontology during the Jurassic era.
