EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by John Henry Leonard in the Geological Gallery of the Natural History Museum in December 1919, captures the awe and wonder of two young girls as they examine the ancient bones of a primitive elephant or mastodon (Mammut americanus). The mammalian giant, a member of the Elephantidae family and the Mammuthidae subfamily, is displayed in all its prehistoric glory, its massive bones a testament to the rich geological history of our planet. The girls, dressed in the fashion of the early 20th century, carefully inspect the anatomy of this extinct placental mammal, their expressions reflecting a sense of curiosity and fascination. The Geological Gallery, with its dimly lit rooms and atmospheric displays, provides the perfect backdrop for this moment of discovery, transporting us back in time to an era when the natural world held even greater mysteries. The mastodon, a close relative of the modern elephant, roamed North America during the Pleistocene epoch, some 11,000 to 150,000 years ago. Its discovery and study played a significant role in the development of the fields of geology and paleontology, shedding light on the Earth's deep past and the evolution of the animal kingdom. This photograph, a precious archive of a bygone era, invites us to reflect on the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to explore and learn from.
