EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Victorian Marvel of Natural History: The Natural History Museum at Tring's Gallery 3 - A Sanctuary for Elephants and Other Mammals 2.. Step inside Gallery 3 of the Natural History Museum at Tring, Hertfordshire, and be transported back to the 19th century, where the world of natural history comes alive through an extraordinary collection of mammals, with a special focus on proboscideans or elephants. This magnificent interior, a sister museum to the Natural History Museum in London, was established in 1868 by Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, a passionate naturalist and collector, who dedicated his life to amassing an unparalleled assemblage of specimens. As you wander through the dimly lit, ornate halls, your eyes are drawn to the grand display of an adult elephant, its massive form captured in intricate detail. The exhibit, a testament to the natural history of these magnificent creatures, is a must-see for anyone with a fascination for the natural world. Lord Rothschild's collection, spanning from the late 19th to the early 20th century, includes a diverse array of mammals, from the smallest shrew to the largest elephant. The museum's extensive epitherian and therian collections, with a focus on placental mammals, provide valuable insights into the evolution and diversity of the Mammalia order. The Natural History Museum at Tring, with its rich history and impressive displays, invites visitors to explore the wonders of the natural world, providing a unique glimpse into the past and the ongoing quest for knowledge. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into this remarkable institution, a sanctuary for the study and preservation of the natural world. This image is part of the Mary Evans Picture Library's extensive collection of historical photographs, providing a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone with a curiosity for the past.
