EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Sheet 2 of a series of posters created by the renowned English sculptor and palaeontologist, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, in approximately 1862. The illustration showcases two iconic prehistoric creatures, Megalosaurus and Pterodactylus, in a vivid daytime habitat setting. Megalosaurus, meaning "great lizard," was one of the first dinosaurs to be formally named and classified. This large, robust carnivore, belonging to the Megalosauridae family and the Megalosaurinae subfamily, was estimated to reach lengths of up to 9 meters (30 feet). Its powerful limbs, sharp claws, and serrated teeth were well-suited for hunting and tearing apart its prey. The Pterodactylus, meaning "winged finger," is a pterosaur, an extinct group of flying reptiles. This creature, part of the Archosauria, Diapsida, Dinosauria, Archosauromorpha, and Archosauriformes classifications, had a wingspan of around 1.5 meters (5 feet) and a body length of approximately 1.2 meters (4 feet). Its wings were formed by elongated fingers covered in a thin, membranous skin. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, born in 1807 and passing away in 1894, was a pioneer in the field of dinosaur illustration. His groundbreaking work brought prehistoric animals to life for the public, inspiring awe and fascination with the natural world. This particular illustration, with its detailed and lifelike depiction of Megalosaurus and Pterodactylus, remains a testament to Hawkins' artistic talent and scientific insight.
