EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front page of the Penny Magazine from October 26th, 1833. The image features a wood engraving illustration that has been meticulously hand colored, bringing to life an array of extinct animals. This groundbreaking article, written by esteemed geologist John Phillips, marks the first popular publication to introduce readers to the remarkable discoveries from the age of ruling reptiles. Numbered specimens are highlighted in this extraordinary piece, including nine Megalosaurus (the first discovered dinosaur), ten Ichthyosaurus, eleven Plesiosaurus, twelve Ammonites, and seventeen Bird-like Bats known today as Ornithocephali or Pterodactyl reptiles. These fossil reconstructions provide invaluable insights into our planet's prehistoric past. The artistry and attention to detail in this restoration and illustration truly captivate viewers' imaginations. It is a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic skill that such early reconstructions were possible during this era. Notably, Mary Anning's pioneering work in paleontology greatly contributed to these discoveries alongside renowned figures like William Buckland and William Conybeare. Through articles like this one published in Penny Magazine - a popular science periodical - knowledge about these ancient creatures was disseminated widely among the general public. Paul D. Stewart's photograph beautifully captures this historical artifact from Science Photo Library for all enthusiasts of geology and natural history alike.
