EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Gathering of Extinct Mammals: A Victorian Vision by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins in Central Park's Zoological Gardens" This evocative photograph print captures the captivating allure of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' (1807-1894) iconic zoological sculptures, originally installed in Central Park's now-defunct Menagerie in New York City during the late 19th century. Donated by his granddaughter, Mary Hawkins, this precious relic of history offers a glimpse into a bygone era when the wonders of the natural world were a source of fascination and education for the public. The photograph showcases a group of extinct mammals, meticulously crafted by Waterhouse Hawkins, standing proudly in their intended habitat. The artist's masterful attention to detail and anatomical accuracy brought these prehistoric creatures to life, allowing visitors to marvel at their majesty and contemplate the mysteries of the natural world. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins was a pioneering figure in the field of prehistoric animal reconstruction, using the latest scientific knowledge to create lifelike models of extinct species. His groundbreaking work paved the way for future paleontological discoveries and inspired a new generation of scientists and artists. The Menagerie, which opened in 1865, was a popular attraction in Central Park, offering visitors an opportunity to view a diverse array of exotic and extinct animals. The Menagerie's closure in 1880 marked the end of an era, but the legacy of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and his extraordinary creations lives on, inspiring awe and wonder in generations to come. This photograph print is a testament to the enduring power of art and science to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to explore the natural world and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the creatures that have graced our planet throughout history.
