Do you know Dippy, the legendary holotype of the Diplodocus species whose discovery sparked popular imagination and inspired the global dino craze that thrives today?
Named Diplodocus carnegii to honor Andrew Carnegie’s support for the expedition, Dippy proved too massive to be housed in the original exhibition halls, necessitating the expansion of Carnegie’s museum — sometimes referred to as “the house that Dippy built” by people of the day. The casting and distribution of the skeleton made the word dinosaur a household word and for millions of people it became the first dinosaur they had ever seen. Dippy has been on display in more places than any other sauropod dinosaur!
This postcard features museum artisans and a cast replica of Diplodocus carnegii (aka Dippy) in 1904.
