EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a comical scene from the 19th century, as depicted in a Punch cartoon. Titled "The Effects of a Hearty Dinner after Visiting the Antediluvian Department at the Crystal Palace - Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins dinosaur sculptures" it showcases the imaginative and satirical nature of British humor during that era. In this whimsical illustration, we see a man fast asleep in bed, surrounded by an array of lavish furniture and bedding. Clearly exhausted from his visit to the Crystal Palace's Antediluvian Department, where he encountered Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' impressive dinosaur sculptures, he has succumbed to slumber with amusing consequences. As his dreams take hold, we witness an extraordinary transformation unfold before our eyes. The man is transported back in time to ancient Egypt, riding on one of Hawkins' lifelike dinosaur creations. This surreal juxtaposition between modernity and antiquity adds an extra layer of humor to the image. The artist skillfully incorporates elements of satire into this piece through clever caricatures and exaggerated facial expressions. It serves as both social commentary on Victorian society's fascination with scientific discoveries and as light-hearted entertainment for readers of Punch magazine. Overall, this engraving offers a delightful glimpse into 19th-century British culture while showcasing the artistic talent and wit prevalent during that time period.
