EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on the 5th of July, 1892, offers a glimpse into the Osteological Gallery of The Natural History Museum in London, as it appeared during the Victorian era. The image, archived under reference PH/173/2, showcases the grand interior of the Waterhouse Building, home to the museum's extensive collection of animal skeletons. The Osteological Gallery, a testament to the natural world and the wonders of anatomy, was a popular attraction for visitors during the 19th century. The gallery was dedicated to the display of skeletons from various classes of Eutheria, or placental mammals, including Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Prominently featured in the photograph are the skeletons of several Bovidae, or bovids, a family of ungulates that includes antelopes, goats, and buffalo. Among them, a majestic bovine skeleton, possibly that of a buffalo, stands out, its massive size dwarfing the other specimens. The architectural details of the gallery, with its high ceilings, ornate columns, and intricate mosaic flooring, add to the sense of grandeur and wonder. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the fascination and curiosity that museum-goers must have felt as they explored the Osteological Gallery over a century ago. This photograph, a precious piece of history, offers a unique perspective into the natural history museum of the Victorian era, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of the animal kingdom through the lens of science and art.
