Neave Parker, Vernon Edward and Iguanodon

[Danvarner@aol.com]

I just bumped into these  pages from London's Natural History Museum. The 
older folk here will remember  Parker's watercolors from the books of Swinton 
and 
Colbert. Nice to learn a  little bit about the artist himself:

Connected to the site is a photo of Vernon Edward's magnificent model of  
Iguanodon which was photographed for Swinton's _The Dinosaurs_, published in  
1934. It looks like an animation model for a Harryhausen  film:
