EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "An Invitation to Dinner in Iguanodon's World: A Victorian Time Capsule by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1853)" This image, titled "An Invitation to Dinner in Iguanodon's World," is an original artwork by the renowned Victorian artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, donated by his granddaughter Mary Hawkins. Dated back to 1853, this masterpiece showcases a unique blend of science, art, and culture that defines the 19th century. The painting depicts an eccentric scene where prehistoric creatures, including the famous Iguanodon, gather around a dining table adorned with a New Year's Eve menu. The Iguanodon, an ornithischian dinosaur, is the host of this extraordinary event, surrounded by various archosauromorphs, archosauria, and hexapods. Among the guests are dinosaurs like Hadrosauriformes and Euornithopoda, as well as other intriguing creatures such as the Common Burrower Mayfly (Ephemeroptera) and an unidentified arthropod. The scene is set within the Crystal Palace, a symbol of Victorian innovation and progress. This artwork is a testament to the fascination with the natural world during the 19th century, when the study of paleontology was in its infancy. Waterhouse Hawkins, known for his groundbreaking work in creating life-sized models of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, brought these creatures to life in a way that captivated the public's imagination. The invitation to dinner in Iguanodon's world is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a reminder of the enduring allure of the prehistoric world and the role art plays in shaping our understanding of it. This extraordinary piece, with its blend of science, art, and culture, continues to inspire and intrigue viewers today.
