Edward Hitchcock, US geologist
Edward Hitchcock (1793-1864), American geologist. Hitchcock began his career as a teacher and a clergyman, but later became professor of chemistry at Amherst College, Massachusetts, USA. Between 1830 and 1833 he directed the first state-funded geological survey of Massachusetts, which resulted in his publication of The Geology of Massachusetts (1833). He also studied fossilised animal footprints in Connecticut Valley, on which he published the book Ichnology of New England (1858). Hitchcock believed the prints to have been made by ancient birds, but they were later proved to be dinosaur tracks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Hitchcock, a prominent figure in the field of geology. Born in 1793, Hitchcock initially pursued a career as a teacher and clergyman before transitioning to become a professor of chemistry at Amherst College in Massachusetts, USA. It was during his tenure there that he directed the first state-funded geological survey of Massachusetts between 1830 and 1833. This groundbreaking endeavor led to the publication of his renowned work, "The Geology of Massachusetts" in 1833. Hitchcock's contributions extended beyond his exploration of local geology. He delved into the study of fossilized animal footprints found in Connecticut Valley, which eventually culminated in his book "Ichnology of New England" published in 1858. Fascinatingly, he initially believed these prints to be made by ancient birds but later discoveries proved them to be dinosaur tracks. Edward Hitchcock's legacy as both a scientist and paleontologist is immortalized through this remarkable illustration captured within this photo print. His dedication to unraveling Earth's history through meticulous research and analysis has solidified him as one of the founding figures within these fields. As we admire this image, we are reminded not only of Hitchcock's significant contributions but also how science continues to evolve our understanding of our planet's past.
