EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from one of the three ornithological expeditions led by Sir Walter Rothschild (1868-1937), second from right, to Algeria between 1908 and 1911. Accompanied by Ernst Hartert (1859-1933), the curator of birds at Rothschild's Museum at Tring, the intrepid explorers are seen here with their collecting party, dressed in full Edwardian attire and armed with guns. The date of this particular image is estimated to be circa 1908. During these expeditions, Rothschild and Hartert made significant contributions to the scientific community, particularly in the field of ornithology. Their discoveries expanded the knowledge of the avian species found in North Africa, adding numerous new specimens to the collections at Tring. The image showcases a group of four men, standing in a semi-circle, with Sir Walter Rothschild and Ernst Hartert at the center. The men, all dressed in full length coats and hats, appear focused and determined, embodying the spirit of exploration and scientific discovery that defined the early 20th century. The presence of a lion or lioness skin in the background adds an intriguing element to the photograph, hinting at the diverse wildlife they encountered during their travels. This historic image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when scientific exploration and discovery were driven by a sense of adventure and curiosity.
