EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on the 5th of July in the year 1892, captures a mesmerizing display of gazelles in the Lower Mammal Gallery of the Natural History Museum in London. The image, archived under reference PH/173/3, offers a glimpse into the Victorian era and the awe-inspiring interior of the Waterhouse Building. Gazelles, members of the Antilopinae subfamily within the Bovidae family, are elegant and graceful antelopes native to Africa and Asia. They are classified as even-toed ungulates, belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and are further categorized as placental mammals, meaning they develop inside their mother's womb before birth. The gazelles in this photograph are artfully arranged, showcasing their slender and agile bodies, with their distinctive long necks and elegant limbs on full display. Their coats, ranging from light brown to reddish-brown, are adorned with distinctive black spots, making them a striking sight. The Natural History Museum, founded in 1881, has been a hub of scientific discovery and learning for over a century. This photograph, taken during the museum's early days, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world as it was understood during the 19th century. The gazelles in this photograph serve as a reminder of the rich history and scientific legacy of the Natural History Museum, which continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world.
