EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Richard Owen, a prominent English zoologist of the 19th century. The artist, DJ Pound, skillfully captures the essence of this renowned figure through his meticulous attention to detail. Sir Richard Owen's distinguished career began with his studies in medicine at Edinburgh and St Bartholomews. His expertise led him to become the curator in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, where he produced exceptional descriptive catalogues. In 1856, he assumed the role of superintendent for the natural history departments at the British Museum while also continuing to teach at esteemed institutions such as the Royal Institution. Notably, Sir Richard Owen held pre-Darwinian beliefs and maintained a skeptical stance towards detailed evolutionist theories during his time.
