Richard Owen, 1878. Artist: Lock & Whitfield
Richard Owen, 1878. After qualifying and practising as a surgeon, Owen made major contributions in the fields of anatomy and paleontology. He was responsible for first coining the word dinosaur in 1841. Owen was opposed to Darwins theories, believing that natural selection was insufficient to explain evolution. In 1856 he became superintendent of natural history at the British Museum and planned the new Natural History Museum which was established in South Kensington. From Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits of men distinguished in the Senate, the Church, in science, literature and art, the army, navy, law, medicine, etc. Photographed from life by Lock and Whitfield, with brief biographical notices by Thompson Cooper. (Conducted by G. C. Whitfield.) (London, 1876-1883)
