EDITORS COMMENTS
This X-ray image showcases the intricate structure of a bird's head, with a particular focus on its distinctive crest. Dated circa 1900, this rare find is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 165, held at Mary Evans Prints Online. The X-ray was likely produced using a lantern slide, a popular method for projecting medical and scientific images during lectures and educational presentations of the time. The X-ray reveals the complex bone structure of the bird's skull, with the crest bone clearly visible. The crest bone, also known as the frontal bone, is a flat bone that forms the forehead and the roof of the eye sockets. In birds, this bone often develops into elaborate structures, such as the casque of a hornbill or the crest of a rooster. The X-ray technique, which involves passing X-rays through the body to produce an image of the internal structures, was first discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. The technology quickly gained popularity in the medical and scientific communities due to its ability to reveal hidden structures and diagnose injuries and diseases. This X-ray provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of natural history and the scientific advancements of the early 20th century. The intricate details revealed in the image offer a unique perspective on the anatomy of birds, highlighting the importance of X-rays in the study of biology and the natural world.
