EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Geology Department staff of the Natural History Museum in London, circa 1881. Standing tall on the left is Arthur Smith Woodward, a prominent figure in paleontology who made significant contributions to our understanding of prehistoric life. Beside him stands William Davies, an accomplished geologist whose expertise added depth to the department's research endeavors. Completing the trio is Richard Bullen Newton, another dedicated scientist committed to unraveling Earth's geological mysteries. Seated gracefully on the right are Robert Etheridge and Henry Woodward. The latter served as the leader of this esteemed department during that time period, known as Keeper of Geology. With his vast knowledge and leadership skills, Henry Woodward guided his team towards groundbreaking discoveries for over two decades until he passed on his legacy to Arthur Smith Woodward in 1901. This historical photograph was originally published in a book commemorating the centenary anniversary of the British Museum of Natural History in 1981. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when these brilliant minds shaped our understanding of Earth's history through their tireless dedication and scientific pursuits. As we admire this group portrait today, it serves as a reminder of their invaluable contributions to both geology and paleontology fields while highlighting their individual roles within this prestigious institution.
