C. 1849 Lithograph by Maguire from the friends of the Ipswich museum collection showing John Obadiah Westwood (22 Dec 1805 - 2 Jan 1893) holding a goliath beetle. Westwood was curator and later Professor at Oxford University and was influential in taking on the collection of his friend and patron Frederick William Hope. The Hope-Westood collection formed the basis of the important Oxford museum entomology collection. He was President of the Entomological Society of London from 1852-1853.
