EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from May 1912, Augustus H. Bishop, a dedicated taxidermist at the museum, proudly poses with an impressive pair of elephant tusks. Augustus had joined the museum in 1904 at the young age of 23, following three years of rigorous training in taxidermy. The museum's collection was expanding rapidly during this period, and Augustus' skills were in high demand. The elephant tusks, likely sourced from a proboscidean species such as an African elephant or an Asian elephant, are a testament to the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing the natural world. Augustus' expression suggests a sense of pride and accomplishment, reflecting the importance of his work in the field of natural history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 20th century when the study of mammals, including elephants, was a burgeoning field. Augustus' placement among the eutherian order, which includes placental mammals such as elephants and birds, further highlights the interconnectedness of the natural world. The photograph also showcases the diversity of the museum's collection, which includes both mammals and birds, or aves. Augustus' position among the Sauropsida, a group that includes reptiles and birds, further emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationships between different groups of animals. This photograph is a valuable addition to the museum's archive, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the work of a dedicated taxidermist. Augustus' pose with the elephant tusks also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world, a mission that remains relevant today.
