EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the mid-19th century, showcases a group of dedicated geologists in full regalia, gathered in Central Park, New York. The scene, captured around the 1860s, is part of the extensive manuscript collection donated by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' granddaughter, Mary Hawkins. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1807-1894), a renowned English sculptor, is best known for his prehistoric animal sculptures that graced Crystal Palace Park in London. However, his connection to the geological community is less recognized. This photograph reveals Hawkins' involvement in the geological field, as he is seen standing amongst his peers, likely engaged in a discussion or lecture. The geologists in this photograph embody the spirit of scientific exploration and discovery that characterized the Victorian era. Dressed in their formal attire, complete with top hats and long coats, they exude an air of authority and expertise. Their intense focus and engagement with one another underscore the importance of collaboration and knowledge-sharing in advancing the field of geology. The backdrop of Central Park adds a picturesque touch to the scene, further emphasizing the significance of the natural world in the study of geology. The photograph also provides a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives and work of these pioneering scientists. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of geology but also a reminder of the enduring fascination with the natural world that continues to drive scientific inquiry today.
