William Buckland was a renowned geologist, paleontologist, and clergyman who made significant contributions to the field of earth sciences. In 1838, he presented Mantell's Geological Strata Section, providing valuable insights into the Earth's geological history. A year earlier, in 1829, an intriguing silhouette captured William and his son Frank Buckland together, showcasing their shared passion for scientific exploration. Dr. Buckland's remarkable achievements were commemorated with a bust erected in Westminster Abbey. Known for hosting extraordinary guests at his residence, The Very Reverend Dean of Westminster captivated minds with his knowledge and wit. His lectures at the Geological Lecture Room in Oxford on February 15th, 182 showcased his expertise and enthusiasm for teaching. Dr. Buckland's fascination with caves led him to explore the bone cavern of Gaylenreuth in Franconia as depicted in an engraving from that era. He also conducted groundbreaking research on prehistoric creatures like iguanodons by comparing their teeth to those of modern iguanas in 1836. Beyond science and academia, William Buckland had diverse interests reflected through various images associated with him over time. In one image from 1875 titled "Costume of the Glaciers, " he is seen equipped to explore glaciers—an indication of his adventurous spirit. Additionally, architectural drawings showcase Central Pavilion at Harwood House in Annapolis dating back to 1922—a testament to Dr. Buckland's appreciation for artistry beyond natural sciences.
