Framed Print of Benjamin Hawkins Sydenham Studio
Illustration of Hawkins studio in Sydenham, where he made the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs. Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (February 8, 1807 - January 27, 1894) was an English sculptor and natural history artist. He was appointed assistant superintendent of the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London. The following year (1852), he was appointed by the Crystal Palace company to create 33 life-size concrete models of extinct dinosaurs to be placed in the south London park to which the great glass exhibition hall was to be relocated. In this work, which took some three years, he collaborated with Richard Owen and other leading scientific figures of the time. He was later commissioned to produce models for NYC's Central Park museum similar to these he had created in Sydenham. He established a studio on the modern site of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, and planned to create a Paleozoic Museum, but the project was shelved in 1870. He then turned to dinosaur skeleton reconstruction working at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. He returned to England in 1878. He suffered a debilitating stroke in 1889 and died in 1894 at the age of 86. © New York Public Library / Science Source
