EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1885, captures a group of senior geology staff members gathered in the historic colonnade at the rear of the Natural History Museum in London. The Natural History Museum, a grand Victorian institution, had been open for just over three decades at the time, and the museum's geology department was at the forefront of groundbreaking research and discoveries. The senior geologists, dressed in formal attire, are seen seated and standing amongst the intricately carved columns, their serious expressions conveying a sense of purpose and dedication to their work. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these pioneering scientists, who spent their days exploring the earth's geological past and making significant contributions to the field. The Natural History Museum's geology department was a hub of activity during the 19th century, with a focus on the collection, study, and classification of geological specimens from around the world. The museum's extensive collections, which continue to grow and evolve today, were instrumental in advancing the understanding of the earth's history and the processes that shape our planet. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, providing a window into the past and offering a tangible connection to the rich scientific heritage of the Natural History Museum. It serves as a reminder of the important role that institutions like the Natural History Museum play in advancing knowledge and inspiring future generations of scientists.
