Ichthyosaurus Intermedius from Lyme Regis

Ichthyosaurus Intermedius from Lyme Regis, by N Whittock. The print is one of three given to the Geological Society on 30 November 1827 by Lord William Willoughby Cole, later 3rd Earl of Enniskillen. The prints are likely to have been commissioned by Cole to show off specimens from his own collection. Short run lithographic prints of fossils to be distributed to friends and colleagues were extremely popular during this period. Chalk lithograph
