Naturalists dining inside a model of a dinosaur, Crystal Palace, Sydenham, New Year's Eve, 1853. Dinner given by sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1807-1889) to celebrate his completion of two Iguanodon statues to be put on on display at the relocated Crystal Palace. The guests, who had their meal inside one of the statues, included Richard Owen (1804-1892), the naturalist Edward Forbes (1815-1854) and the ornithologist John Gould (1804-1881). The sculptures were placed in a landscaped area of the park in Sydenham, now Bromley, South London. From The Ilustrated London News, (January 1854).
