“The first illustration of a prehistoric landscape, showing long necks plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, illustrated by Henry de la Biche.”

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: Mary Anning's contributions
For: Listeners interested in paleontology and women's history
Key quote: “There's one hero in this, which is a guy called Henry de la Biche, who is an illustrator who illustrates what is effectively the very first illustration of a prehistoric landscape.”
The host discusses Mary Anning's significant role in paleontology and how her contributions have often been overshadowed by male contemporaries. The mention of the book 'Dorset as it was long, long ago' highlights the historical context of her discoveries in the region.
