EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a Stuffed Emperor Penguin model from 1901-04, meticulously preserved with bird skin and feathers by Edward Adrian Wilson. The male Emperor penguin is mounted on a green board in a glass case, showcasing its majestic presence. Two blue paper labels that were once at its feet revealed the fascinating history behind this specimen - it was caught during Captain Scott's Antarctic Expedition in Discovery 1901-4 and later presented by the Captain, Officers, and Cadets of HMS Worcester in 1950.
The intricate details of the feathers and plumage of this Emperor penguin are beautifully captured in this photograph, highlighting the artistry of taxidermy. This piece serves as a reminder of the natural beauty found in Antarctica's icy landscapes and the incredible wildlife that inhabits them.
Edward Adrian Wilson's skillful preservation of this Emperor penguin allows us to appreciate its unique features up close, providing insight into early twentieth-century natural history practices. This print is not just an object but a testament to exploration, discovery, and conservation efforts that continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
