EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1910s, showcases N.R. Wood of the Smithsonian Institution in the midst of his meticulous work at his indoor workbench. The setting is the hallowed halls of the esteemed scientific institution, where Wood, a dedicated ornithologist, carefully mounts a taxidermal bird specimen. With a focused expression and gloved hands, he manipulates the delicate wings and tail feathers, ensuring each one is perfectly positioned. The glass negative, captured by an unknown photographer, reveals the intricacies of the craftsmanship involved in the mounting process. The taxidermal model, proudly displayed on a wooden stand, adds to the rich heritage of natural history education at the Smithsonian Institution. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the dedication and skill of the men and women who worked behind the scenes to advance our understanding of the natural world.
