EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century cartoon, illustrated by John Leech, humorously depicts aspects of Waterhouse Hawkins's models of dinosaurs in the grounds of the Crystal Palace. The satirical drawing showcases Leech's talent as an English caricaturist and illustrator. In this scathing satire, Leech pokes fun at both the French and their fascination with these prehistoric creatures. The cartoon cleverly captures a scene where a group of French visitors marvel at one of Hawkins's dinosaur models. Their exaggerated expressions and gestures highlight their astonishment and perhaps even skepticism towards these ancient beasts. The artist skillfully portrays the grandeur and scale of the Crystal Palace while incorporating elements that add to its comedic effect. With his keen eye for detail, Leech includes various humorous touches throughout the illustration, such as a man climbing up one of the dinosaur legs or another individual attempting to measure its enormous size. This cartoon not only provides amusement but also offers insight into public perceptions during this period when scientific discoveries were capturing people's imaginations. It serves as a reminder that even groundbreaking achievements can be subject to ridicule and skepticism. Overall, this artwork is a delightful blend of satire, historical context, and artistic skill. It invites viewers to appreciate both Hawkins's pioneering work in reconstructing dinosaurs' appearance and Leech's ability to capture societal attitudes through his illustrations.
