EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the wonders of the Mammal Pavilion at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London, on the 5th of July 1892. The image showcases two magnificent creatures, a giraffe and a rhinoceros, displayed in their Victorian splendor. The Mammal Pavilion, part of the iconic Waterhouse Building, was designed by the renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse and opened in 1881. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the intricate architectural details of the Mammal Pavilion's interior. The room, filled with natural light, is adorned with ornate columns, intricate plasterwork, and a grand fireplace. The focus, however, is on the two mammals that grace the space. The giraffe, with its long neck and distinctive spotted pattern, stands proudly, its skeleton displayed alongside its taxidermied body. The rhinoceros, an impressive specimen, is shown with its massive horn and powerful frame, its skeleton revealing the intricate structure of its bones. The Mammal Pavilion was a testament to the Victorian fascination with the natural world and the desire to preserve and display its wonders. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of the Natural History Museum and the important role it played in the scientific exploration of the animal kingdom during the 19th century.
