My Work Log

10/6/19 - copied article into sandbox for editing. Researched databases for information.

10/28/19- scoured BC library database for information on Woodward. Did not find anything, will keep looking. However I did find several pictures of sketches Woodward illustrated on Creative Commons, so I am pretty sure they are acceptable. 1 hr work time. P.S. I think I may have erased my logs from last week, I am not sure what I did to erase it but I posted a graphic by Woodward.

11/3/19- Posted my contribution to the main page and published it. I included the image and the proper citation. Yeeehaaaa!!! We did it!!!

Gertrude Mary Woodward (1854–1939) was a British scientific illustrator. The daughter of geologist Henry Bolingbroke Woodward and sister of illustrator Alice Woodward, she illustrated many palaeontological works for the Natural History Museum, London and was esteemed by her peers for the accuracy and quality of her watercolour work. She illustrated the famous Piltdown man fossils and other works by Arthur Smith Woodward (unrelated), as well as works by zoologist Ray Lankester. She often created illustrations for the still published, earth science journal co-founded by her father, titled Geological Magazine.
