EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins is seen engrossed in his masterpiece, a giant model of the extinct Irish Elk, or Megaloceros giganteus, in Central Park, New York. The image, believed to have been taken during the late 19th century, showcases the artist's dedication and passion for recreating the natural world through art. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1807-1894) was an English sculptor renowned for his lifelike models of extinct animals. His most famous works include the now-iconic dinosaur models for the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London in 1851. However, this photograph captures him in the process of creating a giant model of the Irish Elk, an extinct, even-toed ungulate from the Eutherian order, which once roamed Europe during the Pleistocene epoch. The Irish Elk, also known as Megaloceros, was one of the largest deer species ever to have existed. It is characterized by its massive antlers, which could spread up to 14 feet in width. The model in Central Park is a testament to Waterhouse Hawkins' remarkable skill in reconstructing the appearance and anatomy of extinct animals based on scientific evidence. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, where art and science intertwined to bring the wonders of the natural world to life. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in understanding our past and inspiring future generations. The model, which once stood proudly in Central Park, is now considered a significant historical artifact in its own right. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and his contributions to the fields of art and science.
