EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front page of the Penny Magazine from October 26th, 1833, titled "Organic Remains Restored". The wood engraving illustration, later hand-colored, takes center stage in this historical piece. It is a remarkable artifact as it marks the first popular article to feature illustrations of creatures from the age of ruling reptiles. Renowned geologist John Phillips penned this groundbreaking article, introducing these recent discoveries to a wider audience. Numbered specimens depicted include nine Megalosaurus (the first discovered dinosaur), ten Ichthyosaurus, eleven Plesiosaurus, twelve Ammonites, and seventeen Bird-like Bats now known as Pterodactyls (Pterosaurs). This artwork not only captures their majestic forms but also provides valuable insight into early reconstructions of fossils. The image transports us back to the 19th century when paleontology was still in its infancy. It pays homage to influential figures like Mary Anning and William Buckland who contributed significantly to our understanding of prehistoric life during that time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these long-extinct creatures back to life on paper. This print serves as a testament to the intersection between art and science in popular geology during an era where knowledge about dinosaurs and other ancient species was rapidly expanding. Paul D. Stewart's capture allows us to appreciate both the scientific significance and artistic beauty contained within this extraordinary piece of history.
