EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Ethelwynne Trewavas, a remarkable British ichthyologist who dedicated her life to the study of fish. As a prominent figure in the field, she followed in the footsteps of Charles Tate Regan and became the Curator of Fish at the prestigious Natural History Museum in London. Trewavas' contribution to zoology is immeasurable, particularly her extensive research on African Rift lake cichlids. Her expertise led to numerous fish species being named in her honor, showcasing her profound impact on this specific branch of biology. In this photograph, we see an elderly Trewavas gazing out through a window into nature's realm. The lines etched on her face tell tales of wisdom and experience acquired over decades spent studying these fascinating creatures. Her presence exudes determination and passion for understanding our aquatic counterparts. As one delves deeper into history's annals, it becomes evident that Trewavas played an integral role in advancing fish classification and ichthyology as a whole during the 20th century. This image serves as a poignant reminder not only of her significant contributions but also highlights women's achievements within scientific fields during an era when their voices were often overlooked or silenced. The Natural History Museum proudly preserves this snapshot as part of its rich heritage, paying tribute to Ethelwynne Trewavas' enduring legacy as both a scientist and curator while inspiring future generations to explore the wonders hidden beneath our planet
