EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Royal Institution Lectures, Pterodactyles and their Contemporaries" takes us back to the 19th century, where the wonders of paleontology were being explored. The image showcases a gathering of individuals at the Royal Institution, eagerly listening to lectures on these ancient creatures. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the intricate depiction of various skeletons suspended in mid-air. Among them are the awe-inspiring pterodactyls - Dimorphodon Macronyx, Cycnorhamphus Suevicus, and Pachyrhamphus Crassirostris - each with its unique features and characteristics. These prehistoric beings are brought to life through meticulous attention to detail by the English School artist. As we observe this scene from a distance, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that lecture hall filled with anticipation and curiosity. The audience's expressions range from fascination to astonishment as they absorb every word spoken about these ancient creatures that once roamed our planet. This engraving was originally created for The Illustrated London News in May 1875, serving as an educational tool for readers eager to learn more about paleontology. Today, it remains a testament to humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and understanding of our past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork within their private collection so that generations may continue marveling at these magnificent creatures who shared Earth long before us.
