1836 Gideon Mantell Mantel Piece sawrian
" A Sawrian" From " The Anniversary of the Literary Fun 1836" by Thomas Hood, published by Baily and Co, Cornhill. The cartoon uses a pun on the Saw and Sawrian to poke fun at Gideon Mantells recently discovered giant saurian reptiles (named dinosaurs by Richard Owen in 1842). A second pun revolves around the fact that one of Mantells most celebrated fossils, on display in his private home/museum in London, was that of an articulated iguanodon - found in a rock slab popularly called " the Mantell piece". The cartoon points out it is gideON MANTELL where the besieged gentleman has escaped to safety

EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "1836 Gideon Mantell Mantel Piece sawrian" would read: "This cartoon, created by Paul D. Stewart in the 19th century, is a delightful blend of wit and scientific humor. It playfully mocks Gideon Mantell, a renowned geologist and paleontologist known for his groundbreaking discoveries in the world of dinosaurs. The cartoon cleverly utilizes wordplay to poke fun at Mantell's fascination with saurian reptiles, which were later named dinosaurs by Richard Owen. By using a pun on 'Saw' and 'Sawrian, ' it highlights Mantell's recent discovery while simultaneously teasing him. Another layer of humor lies in the fact that one of Mantell's most celebrated fossils was an articulated iguanodon found within a rock slab famously referred to as 'the Mantell piece. ' The cartoon emphasizes this connection by pointing out that it is indeed GideON MANTELL who has managed to escape safely from danger. This black and white illustration captures the essence of Georgian and Victorian era caricatures, showcasing its artistic brilliance. It serves as both an amusing commentary on scientific advancements during that time period and a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with fossils and prehistoric creatures. "
