Description

Vernon Edwards: Paleolithic Aquatic Life , watercolour, initialled V E '34, framed 51cm x 82cm long overall.

Vernon Edwards born 1891, is credited as being one of the most talented and influential dinosaur model makers of the 20th century. His work has appeared in museums and galleries around the world; it was a major influence on movie producers and early special effects creators, particularly when films such as The Lost World and King Kong began to showcase dinosaurs as part of the increasingly popular monster movies of the 1920's and 30's. Edwards was born in 1891 into a naval family and attended Weymouth College. In 1914 he joined the navy and served throughout World War One; after the war he found it difficult to adjust to civilian life and, among other professions, tried his hand at farming. His greatest passion was model making. In the early 1920's, he met Dr F A Bather, Keeper of Geology at he British Museum.
