EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable cartoon titled "A Sawrian" created by the talented artist John Scott for Thomas Hood Comic Annual in London, 1836. The illustration humorously depicts the renowned English geologist Gideon Mantell (1790-1852) and his groundbreaking discovery of a suarian, specifically the Iguanodon, near Cuckfield in Sussex back in 1820. Through careful examination of its teeth, Mantell deduced that this magnificent creature was not a carnivore like previously discovered dinosaurs but rather an herbivore. The woodcut artwork beautifully captures the essence of Mantell's significant contribution to both geology and palaeontology. It portrays him as a dedicated scientist immersed in his studies, showcasing his passion for unraveling Earth's mysteries. This delightful cartoon serves as a testament to Mantell's keen observational skills and scientific acumen. As we delve into this historical gem from UIG's collection, we are transported back to an era where scientific discoveries were met with awe and wonderment. It reminds us of the importance of curiosity and perseverance in pushing boundaries and challenging existing knowledge. Through this photo print, we celebrate Gideon Mantell's invaluable contributions to our understanding of prehistoric life while also appreciating John Scott's artistic talent that brings history alive on paper.
