A one-twelfth scale version of the Crystal Palace Park Iguanodon.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This model is a one-twelfth scale version of the first sculpture of Iguanodon ever produced. The original was revealed in 1854 in Crystal Palace Park in London, where it still stands today, along with other life-sized models of extinct animals. Fossils of Iguanodon had been collected in England from the 1820s. Models like this one would also have argued to audiences that the United Kingdom was at the forefront of scientific discovery, and asserted cultural dominance over distant colonial populations, such as in Australia.
