Book excerpt: This is a two-part biography of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (1807-1894), the English sculptor and natural history artist responsible for the celebrated life-size models of dinosaurs at London's Crystal Palace Park. Bramwell (a descendent of Hawkins who became interested in him while researching family history) offers the more straightforward biographical essay, describing her ancestor's travels, his career path, family relations, and similar topics. Peck (a senior fellow at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia) focuses more exclusively on Hawkins's artistic and scientific achievements. The volume is illustrated with examples of Hawkins's work.
