EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild (1868-1937), a prominent English naturalist and founder of the Natural History Museum at Tring, which is now a part of the Natural History Museum in London. In the image, Rothschild is seen seated in a carriage drawn by an intriguing combination of three zebras and a horse. The year is not explicitly stated, but this photograph is believed to have been taken during the late 19th century. Rothschild, an avid collector and curator, was particularly interested in mammals, with a focus on odd-toed ungulates, or perissodactyls, such as zebras. His extensive collection of specimens, including this trio of zebras, was a significant contribution to the scientific community. The carriage ride, featuring an equid (horse) and three equids of the equidae family (zebras), highlights Rothschild's fascination with these magnificent animals. The image showcases the unique blend of science, adventure, and elegance that characterized Rothschild's life and work. As a placental mammal, Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild was part of the Eutheria order, which includes all living mammals that develop from an embryo inside the mother's body. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who dedicated his life to the study and preservation of the natural world." This photograph is an archival piece from the 19th century, showcasing Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild's passion for mammals, particularly zebras, and his unique mode of transportation. It is an essential addition to any collection focusing on natural history, zoology, or the history of scientific exploration.
