EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1904 at Tring Park, depicts the eccentric and bizarre scene of Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, a renowned British naturalist and philanthropist, driving a carriage pulled by an extraordinary team of zebras. At the time, Rothschild was the founder and proprietor of the Natural History Museum at Tring, now part of the Natural History Museum in London. Rothschild's love for animals, particularly exotic ones, was legendary. He amassed an impressive collection of specimens, including over 300,000 birds, 40,000 butterflies, and numerous mammals, reptiles, and fish. His menagerie also included an array of unusual animals, such as zebras, which he kept at Tring Park. In this photograph, Rothschild, dressed in a formal suit and top hat, sits confidently in the carriage, holding the reins with an air of authority. The zebras, with their striking black and white stripes, stand out against the lush green landscape of Tring Park. Their powerful muscles ripple as they pull the carriage, their ears perked up in alertness. The scene is both strange and unusual, yet it perfectly encapsulates the eccentric spirit of Lord Rothschild. His passion for collecting and his willingness to embrace the unusual made him a pioneer in the field of natural history. Today, his legacy lives on through the Natural History Museum in London, which continues to inspire and educate visitors about the natural world and its wonders.
