EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in scientific history. In this black and white cartoon by Harry Furniss from Punch magazine, we are transported back to the 19th century where renowned naturalist Richard Owen takes center stage alongside Mr Punch. The image showcases Owen's pioneering work as he holds an Apteryx bursting from its egg. As the first person to coin the term "dinosaur". Owen played a crucial role in describing fossilized reptiles that had been discovered. However, it is worth noting his opposition to Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. This satirical depiction offers insight into the controversy surrounding Darwinism during that time. The wood engraving perfectly captures the essence of this scientific institution meeting held at Hanover Square in London. It portrays men engaged in intellectual discourse and highlights their dedication to zoology and paleontology. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we witness not only famous figures like Richard Owen but also gain glimpses into British society's fascination with science and education during the 19th century. This print serves as a reminder of how far our understanding of evolution has come since then while honoring those who paved the way for modern paleontological research.
