EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Emu" by Gambier Bolton, showcases the distinctive features of one of the largest and most intriguing birds in the world. The image, catalogued as F Zs 354 at The Natural History Museum at Tring, offers a side view of a mature emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) in a captive setting. The emu, a flightless bird belonging to the Casuariiformes order and the Dromaiidae family, is native to Australia and is the largest of all living birds, reaching up to 1.5 meters in height. The historical photograph, taken by renowned British naturalist and photographer, Gambier Bolton, showcases the emu's unique anatomy, including its long, slender neck, small head, and powerful, muscular legs. The emu's feathers, which are black and white in coloration, can be seen in intricate detail, revealing their quill-like structure. The photograph, taken in a monochrome style, adds to its historic charm and emphasizes the textures and patterns of the emu's feathers and skin. The image was likely taken at Rothschild Park or Tring Park, where Bolton often photographed animals for his extensive collection. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of avian study and documentation, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world. Bolton's photographic work continues to inspire and educate, providing valuable insights into the natural history of birds and their habitats.
