Lost Animals: Extinction and the Photographic Record

Bloomsbury Wildlife 2021 256, b/w + col photos. 246x189mm. PB. NEW. . A photograph of an animal long-gone evokes a feeling of loss more than a painting ever can. Often tinted sepia or black-and-white, these images were mainly taken in zoos or wildlife parks, and in a handful of cases featured the last known individual of the species. There are some familiar examples, such as Martha, the last Passenger Pigeon, or the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, recently fledged and perching happily on the hat of one of the biologists that had just ringed it. But for every Martha there are a number of less familiar extinct birds and mammals that were caught on camera prior to their demise.The photographic record of extinction is the focus of this remarkable book, written by the world's leading authority on vanished animals, Errol Fuller. Lost Animals features photographs dating from around 1870 to as recently as 2004, the year that saw the demise of the Hawaiian Po'ouli. From a mother Thylacine and her pups to now-extinct birds such as the Heath Hen and Carolina Parakeet, Fuller tells the tale of each animal, why it became extinct, and discusses the circumstances surrounding the photography itself, in a book rich with unique images.The photographs themselves are poignant and compelling. They provide a tangible link to animals that have now vanished forever, in a book that brings the past to life while delivering a warning for the future.. [9781472991461]

Zoology. 2nd Series Vol. 12-16. Led by John Stanley Gardiner, (1872-1946), the ‘Percy Sladen Trust Expedition’ was conceived to test ideas on coral island formation and related questions by undertaking an extensive exploration of the southern parts of the Indian Ocean. The Admiralty made the expedition possible by placing the surveying vessel H.M.S. Sealark at Gardiner’s disposal for six months of the summer of 1905, other aspects of the expedition were funded by the Percy Sladen Trust. The Sealark was a three-masted vessel with a complement of 100 officers and crew, under the command of Commander Boyle T. Somerville, a distinguished hydrographer. The expedition started from Colombo on May 1905 sailing south visiting many of the islands and reefs lying between Addu, the southernmost atoll of the Maldives and Mauritius, then sailed northwards towards the Seychelles. The results of the cruise were published in eight quarto volumes containing 141 separate reports by leading authors, all edited by Gardiner, five volumes are presented here..
