EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print showcases the Iguanodon, a renowned dinosaur belonging to the Class Reptilia and the subclass Dinosauria, often referred to as the 'gigantic lizards.' The Iguanodon is depicted in this illustration with several distinctive features that set it apart from its modern reptilian counterparts. The Iguanodon, discovered in 1825 in England, was one of the first dinosaur fossils to be identified and named. It is an armored dinosaur, belonging to the Ankylosauria order, characterized by its armor-like plates covering its body. This herbivorous dinosaur is estimated to have grown up to 9 meters in length and weighed around 6 metric tons. The print, created between 1871 and 1889, is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the time. It was produced during the height of the dinosaur craze, when many notable discoveries were being made, and the public's fascination with these prehistoric creatures was at an all-time high. The illustration also includes several other dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, such as the Ankylosaurus, Archosauria, Diapsida, and Euornithopoda. These animals are part of various subclasses, including Archosauromorpha, Archosauriformes, Archosaur, Cerapoda, Dinosauromorpha, Dryomorpha, Hadrosauriformes, and Eurypoda. This print is a beautiful example of the intricate details and accuracy that were being achieved in dinosaur illustrations during this period. It was produced by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, a British sculptor and painter, who is known for his groundbreaking work in creating life-size models of dinosaurs. The print is a valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the scientific and artistic exploration of the dinosaur world during the 19th century.
