EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Specimen Labels for the Herald Petrel (Pterodroma arminjoniana) Collected during Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) This evocative studio shot features a collection of specimen labels for the Herald Petrel (Pterodroma arminjoniana), a seabird species discovered during Sir Robert Falcon Scott's historic Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic (1910-1913). The expedition, also known as the British Antarctic Expedition, was marked by a broad scientific programme that resulted in the collection of thousands of geological and zoological specimens. The labels, meticulously prepared by the expedition's chief scientific staff, Edward Wilson, bear the name of the bird species, its scientific classification, and relevant locality information. The Herald Petrel, also known as the Trindade Petrel or Arminjon's Petrel, is a tubenose seabird belonging to the Procellariidae family and the Procellariiformes order. It is native to the Atlantic Ocean, with breeding colonies found on the Trindade and Martim Vaz Islands, off the coast of Brazil and the Caribbean. The Herald Petrel's inclusion in this collection underscores the expedition's significant contributions to ornithological research. The labels, with their crisp white background and precise typography, serve as tangible reminders of the scientific discoveries made during this groundbreaking journey. The Terra Nova Expedition, which ended tragically with Scott and his team's fatal attempt to reach the South Pole, remains an important chapter in the annals of Antarctic exploration and scientific discovery. These specimen labels offer a captivating glimpse into the rich natural history uncovered during this iconic expedition.
