EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the renowned British naturalist, Richard Owen, at the age of 52. The image captures his intellectual prowess and determination as he gazes into the distance with a focused expression. Richard Owen is famously known for coining the term "Dinosaur" in 1841, forever leaving an indelible mark on paleontology. Despite his significant contributions to scientific discovery, this portrait also alludes to one of Owen's controversial stances. A staunch opponent of Charles Darwin and evolution theory, he vehemently opposed these ideas throughout his career. This engraving serves as a reminder of the scientific debates that shaped our understanding of life on Earth during the late 19th century. Originally featured in The Strand Magazine in London back in 1891, this print has stood the test of time as a testament to both Richard Owen's legacy and Victorian-era scientific exploration. Its intricate details and fine lines evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era when naturalists like Owen were revered for their dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries. As we admire this historic image today, let us reflect upon how far our knowledge has come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for modern science.
