EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to an extraordinary event that took place in the heart of Victorian London during the height of the dinosaur craze. This print depicts a formal dinner being held within the first full-sized model of the Iguanodon, created by the renowned English sculptor, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, in 1853. The Crystal Palace, an iconic glass structure designed by Joseph Paxton, served as the impressive backdrop for this historic occasion. The Iguanodon, an herbivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous period, was one of the earliest known dinosaurs to be scientifically described. Measuring over 20 feet long, this bipedal, diapsid, dinosauria, iguanodont, ankylopollexian, archosauromorph, archosauriform, archosaur, cerapoda, dinosauromorpha, dryomorpha, euornithopoda, genasaurian, hadrosauriform creature, was a true marvel of the prehistoric world. Its discovery and subsequent display at the Crystal Palace ignited the public's fascination with dinosaurs, making it a must-see attraction for visitors. As the sun sets over the Crystal Palace, elegantly dressed guests gather around the table, surrounded by the towering, prehistoric figure of the Iguanodon. The dinosaur's skeletal structure, adorned with intricate details, serves as an awe-inspiring reminder of the ancient world that once existed. This unique dinner event, a testament to the scientific and artistic achievements of the time, represents a significant moment in the history of paleontology and the public's fascination with dinosaurs.
