1825 John MacEnery handaxes Kent's Cave
Handaxes illustrated in last plate from MacEnery,John (1796-1841). "Cavern Researches or,Discoveries of organic remains,and of British and Roman Reliques in the Caves of Kent's Hole". London: Simpkin,Marshall 1859. MacEnery explored Kent's cave in 1825. He uncovered bones of extinct prehistoric animals and man-made flint tools lying side-by-side under thick stalagmite floors. He thought they were from the same era,but the Rev. William Buckland persuaded him otherwise. These drawings were prepared for publication at the time,but he could not raise the funds and faltered in his belief that the evidence indicated that man existed among these extinct creatures. They were only published 1859 - the year that Boucher De Perthes finally broke the time barrier and made the world believe that man had a longer geological history that Bishop Usher's 4004BC. McEnery could have got there first
