1890 Punch Cartoon Othaniel Marsh
Cartoon from Punch September 13th 1890. Shows Professor Othniel Marsh standing atop a triceratops skull, with some of his famous discoveries before him. Top left Pteranodon (Marsh 1870) the first pterosaur to be discovered outside Europe. Lowest the toothed bird Hesperornis regalis (Marsh 1871), right Brontops robustus (Marsh 1887) left Uintatherium - a species actually described by Joseph Leidy in 1872 and whose identification suffered from the developing bone wars between Marsh and his palaeontological rival Edward Drinker Cope. The bone wars between Marsh and Cope grew so acrimonious it eventually drove the talented and less egotistical Joseph Leidy from the field entirely

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of paleontology, showcasing Professor Othniel Marsh and his remarkable discoveries. The cartoon, originally published in Punch on September 13th, 1890, portrays Marsh standing triumphantly atop a triceratops skull. Surrounding him are some of his most famous findings. In the top left corner, we see the Pteranodon (Marsh 1870), which marked the first pterosaur discovery outside Europe. Just below it is Hesperornis regalis (Marsh 1871), a toothed bird that fascinated scientists with its unique characteristics. To the right stands Brontops robustus (Marsh 1887), while to the left is Uintatherium - a species initially described by Joseph Leidy but caught up in the infamous bone wars between Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope. The bone wars were notorious for their acrimony and rivalry between these two prominent paleontologists. Their intense competition eventually drove Joseph Leidy away from this field entirely due to their egotistical clashes. Paul D. Stewart's artwork brilliantly encapsulates this era of scientific exploration and rivalry within American paleontology. It serves as a testament to Professor Marsh's contributions to our understanding of prehistoric life and reminds us of how personal ambitions can impact even the noblest pursuits. This print not only celebrates an important chapter in scientific history but also highlights the intricate relationship between human nature and groundbreaking discoveries from eons past.
