EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a selection of designs for the Natural History Museum in London, as envisioned by the renowned Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse. This album of 66 original drawings provides a unique insight into Waterhouse's creative process, with ten illustrations featuring terracotta wash to indicate how the finished pieces were intended to appear. The Natural History Museum, an iconic landmark of the 19th century, is home to an extensive collection of natural history specimens. Waterhouse's designs reflect the museum's commitment to showcasing the natural world in all its glory. Among the drawings, one can find intricate designs for animal enclosures, columns, and botanical displays. One particularly charming design features a squirrel, a member of the Sciuridae family, perched atop a column. The rodent, with its bushy tail and alert expression, adds a playful touch to the otherwise grand and formal designs. The squirrel's inclusion is a testament to Waterhouse's appreciation for the natural world and his ability to seamlessly integrate it into his architectural designs. Waterhouse's designs for the Natural History Museum are a reflection of the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world and the desire to preserve and display it for future generations. The drawings showcase a range of mammals, from placental mammals like the squirrel to therian mammals and eutherians. The intricate details and careful attention to the natural forms of each animal are a testament to Waterhouse's skill as an architect and his deep appreciation for the natural world. These designs, created in the late 19th century, continue to inspire and captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world.
