Zoological Photographic Club
Zoological Photographic Club is an artist. 39 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The Zoological Photographic Club took crisp, close-up photos of animals in the late 1800s, long before smartphones. Their images—like Black-headed Gull and Long Eared Owl—show birds and mammals with clear details and calm compositions. These pictures belong to early wildlife photography, when photographers still tested glass plates and long exposure times. See how they froze a stork landing in The Stork Alights, or froze a badger’s whiskers in Young Male Badger. Tap any image here to zoom in on the fur and feathers.
