EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Crystal Palace exhibition in Sydenham, England, in 1854, Sir Richard Owen, the renowned English biologist, pales in comparison to the colossal presence of the Iguanodon model created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The image, taken inside the exhibition's grand hall, showcases a group of distinguished scientists and scholars gathered around a beautifully set table, seated within the hollowed-out body of the extinct dinosaur. The Crystal Palace, an architectural marvel of its time, was the venue for the Great Exhibition of 1851, and later became the permanent home for the Museum of Ornamental Horticulture and the National Industries of All Nations. In 1853, the decision was made to add a gallery dedicated to showcasing models of prehistoric animals, including dinosaurs, based on the latest scientific research. Hawkins, a skilled model maker, was commissioned to create these life-size models, with the Iguanodon being one of the most prominent. In this photograph, Hawkins extends an invitation to the esteemed scientists of the day, inviting them to dine within the Iguanodon model. The scientists, including Sir Richard Owen, are seen in formal attire, seated at a beautifully set table, surrounded by the intricately detailed model of the dinosaur. This unique gathering not only highlights the scientific advancements of the time but also underscores the fascination and curiosity that the newly discovered dinosaurs held for the public and scholars alike. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era where scientific exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human curiosity. It serves as a reminder of the importance of collaboration and the shared pursuit of knowledge, as well as the awe-inspiring impact that the study of dinosaurs has had on our understanding of the natural world.
