Chested Frigate Member 1895 Fregatidae


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majesty and power of a red-chested Frigate Bird, a striking member of the Fregatidae family. Known to some as the 'Son of the Sun' or the 'Man-of-war Bird,' this bird has a rich and fascinating history. The Frigate Bird, with its distinctive red chest and long, pointed wings, is a sight to behold. Its wingspan can reach up to 7 feet, making it one of the largest seabirds in the world. This bird is well adapted to the open sea, with its lightweight body and long wings enabling it to glide effortlessly over the water for hours at a time. The Frigate Bird's historical significance dates back to ancient times, when it was revered by many cultures for its strength and agility. In Polynesian mythology, the Frigate Bird was believed to be the messenger of the gods, and its red chest was said to represent the sun. In European folklore, it was known as the 'Man-of-war Bird' due to its association with pirate ships, which used the birds to locate schools of fish. This photograph, taken in 1895, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Frigate Bird. The image captures the bird in its natural habitat, flying gracefully over the turquoise waters of the ocean. The intricate details of the bird's feathers and the vibrant red color of its chest are beautifully rendered, making this a must-have for any nature enthusiast or collector of historical photographs. This photograph is available as a high-quality print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique and captivating addition to any home or office. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this Frigate Bird photograph is sure to inspire wonder and awe.
