EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Group of Kangaroos" by renowned British naturalist and photographer Gambier Bolton (1841-1922), showcases a mesmerizing moment in the lives of these iconic Australian marsupials. The image, catalogued as F Zs 553, is held at The Natural History Museum at Tring, Hertfordshire, UK. Gambier Bolton, a pioneering figure in the field of natural history photography, captured this scene with exceptional skill and detail. The photograph depicts a lively group of kangaroos, a social gathering of these macropodids, who are known for their distinctive long, powerful hind legs and large, pouch-like marsupial pouches. The kangaroos are depicted in their natural habitat, likely in Tring Park or the surrounding areas of Rothschild's estate, where Bolton was granted permission to photograph the wildlife. The photograph is a testament to Bolton's dedication to documenting the natural world and his ability to capture the essence of these fascinating animals. The kangaroos appear to be in a state of alertness, their ears perked up and eyes focused, as they seem to be "mobbed" by the presence of their companions. The image offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of these marsupials, providing a window into their complex and intriguing behavior. As members of the order Diprotodontia, which means "two-toothed teeth," and the superorder Macropodiformes, which translates to "long-footed forms," kangaroos are an essential part of the diverse and rich Australian fauna. This photograph not only captures the beauty and grace of these animals but also serves as an important historical record of their natural history. The "Group of Kangaroos" photograph by Gambier Bolton is a valuable addition to The Natural History Museum at Tring's extensive collection and a testament to Bolton's significant contributions to the field of natural history photography.
