EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Richard Owen, captured in 1878 by renowned photographers Lock & Whitfield. A man of many talents, Owen began his career as a surgeon before making significant contributions to the fields of anatomy and paleontology. It was he who first coined the term "dinosaur" in 1841, forever shaping our understanding of prehistoric creatures. Despite his groundbreaking work, Owen held contrasting views to Charles Darwin's theories on evolution. He believed that natural selection alone could not explain this complex process. In 1856, he assumed the role of superintendent of natural history at the British Museum and played an instrumental part in planning its new home – the iconic Natural History Museum in South Kensington. This portrait captures Owen's intellectual prowess and determination through his piercing gaze and dignified posture. Dressed impeccably with a high collar befitting his status as a respected anatomist and scientist, he exudes professionalism and authority. The photograph is part of "Men of Mark" a collection featuring contemporary portraits of influential men from various fields including politics, science, literature, art, medicine, and more. This particular image serves as a testament to Richard Owen's lasting legacy within scientific circles during the 19th century.
