EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Reverend William Buckland, a prominent figure in the field of paleontology during the early 19th century. The portrait, painted by Richard Ansdell in 1843 and lithographed by Walker and Boutall, captures Buckland amidst a picturesque field collecting gear. Reverend Buckland held various prestigious titles including Canon of Christ Church and Professor of Geology and Minerology at the University of Oxford. His groundbreaking work led to the description of science's first dinosaur, bringing immense prominence to the prehistoric world in Britain. Although eccentric in nature, Buckland was an exceptional teacher whose academic pursuits were greatly enhanced through his collaboration with William Conybeare. However, some contemporaries like Darwin found him overly enthusiastic about fame and recognition. Buckland's notable discovery included mistaking a palaeolithic burial for a Roman or Celtic one while searching for evidence of Noah's flood. Unfortunately, later in life he suffered from madness attributed to a tuberculous growth at the base of his skull. It is worth mentioning that his son Frank also achieved significant recognition within their shared field. This extraordinary print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to Reverend William Buckland's profound contributions to paleontology and our understanding of Earth's ancient history.
