Hyena of Albara, 1840 This image, titled "Hyena of Albara," dates back to 1840 and offers a glimpse into the natural history of Africa during the Victorian era. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the raw beauty and power of a hyena in its natural habitat. Hyenas are large, social, and omnivorous animals that are native to Africa and Asia. They are known for their distinctive laugh-like vocalizations and their adaptability to various environments. In the 19th century, European explorers and naturalists were fascinated by these enigmatic creatures, and many embarked on expeditions to study and document them. The Hyena of Albara was likely captured by one of these intrepid explorers during their travels through the African continent. The photograph was taken using the wet collodion process, a photographic technique that was popular during the mid-19th century. This method involved coating a glass plate with a light-sensitive emulsion and exposing it to light in a camera. The resulting image was then developed and fixed, producing a unique and detailed photograph. The Hyena of Albara is an important historical document that provides insight into the natural history of Africa during a time when European exploration and scientific discovery were at their height. It also serves as a reminder of the fascination that humans have had with the natural world and the desire to document and preserve it for future generations. Today, hyenas continue to inhabit various parts of Africa and Asia, and they remain an integral part of their ecosystems. However, they face numerous threats, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Efforts are being made to protect these animals and ensure their survival for generations to come.
