Commissioned in 1852, these models were unveiled in 1854 as the first dinosaur sculptures in the world. The first!!
The models were designed and sculpted by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, he under the scientific direction of Sir Richard Owen, who was then (in Victorian times), THE dogs do-dahs regarding the latest scientific knowledge at the time. How wrong Sir Owen was….!
How the science of palaeontology has moved on since those days!
Amazing!
