About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a bird sitting in tall, dry reeds. The bird is small and blends into the nest of tangled stems and grass. The reeds stand straight and stiff, framing the bird like a curtain. The photo was taken by a group called the Zoological Photographic Club. They focused on capturing animals in their natural settings. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more early wildlife photos.
