EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the dimly lit halls of the Spirit Building at the Natural History Museum in London are filled with an array of zoological specimens, each one carefully preserved in a glass spirit jar. The air is thick with history and the weight of scientific discovery, as these precious relics await their next move to the Darwin Centre. The Spirit Building, once the heart of the Museum's taxidermy and preservation work, now stands as a testament to the institution's rich past. The walls are lined with shelves upon shelves of spirit jars, each one housing a meticulously preserved specimen. From the smallest insect to the largest mammal, every creature is represented, its form immortalized in a solution of alcohol and chemicals. The scene is one of quiet contemplation and reverence, as the specimens rest in their jars, their forms suspended in time. The soft glow of the overhead lights casts an ethereal glow over the room, adding to the sense of wonder and awe. The process of preserving these specimens was a laborious one, requiring great skill and care. Each animal was carefully prepared, its bones or soft tissues soaked in a solution of alcohol and other chemicals to prevent decay. The jars were then carefully labeled, each one bearing the name of the species, the date of collection, and the name of the collector. As the Natural History Museum prepares to move these specimens to the Darwin Centre, this photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the past as it transitions into the future. The Spirit Building may no longer be the hub of preservation work, but its legacy lives on in the countless specimens that continue to inspire and educate visitors to the Museum.
