Book Description
Before entering upon a description of the restorations of the Extinct Animals, placed on the Geological Islands in the great Lake, a brief account may be premised of the principles and procedures adopted in carrying out this attempt to present a view of part of the animal creation of former periods in the earth's history.Those extinct animals were first selected of which the entire, or nearly entire, skeleton had been exhumed in a fossil state. To accurate drawings of these skeletons an outline of the form of the entire animal was added, according to the proportions and relations of the skin and adjacent soft parts to the superficial parts of the skeleton, as yielded by those parts in the nearest allied living animals. From such an outline of the exterior, Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins prepared at once a miniature model form in clay.

Book Description
Prehistoric life fascinated Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. So much, that when the Great Exhibition, the first in a series of world fairs, made its debut in a south London park (now Hyde Park) in 1851, he collaborated with Sir Richard Owens and other leading paleontologists of the time on a three year endeavor to create 33 life-size models of extinct dinosaurs made entirely from concrete. To generate press around the exposition, a dinner was held inside the mould the scientists used for the replica of an Iguanodon.This book is a sort of official guide to his sculptures, as well as technical descriptions of the animals' biology and the geological structures from which they were unearthed to educate the attendants of the world's fair on the contextual and scientific information which accompanies his monumental recreation.
