Kingfisher is a photographic by Zoological Photographic Club, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a bird perched on a rough, jagged rock. The bird’s beak is open, like it’s calling or about to catch something. The background is blurry, with muted tones that make the bird and rock stand out. The photo looks like it was taken outside, maybe near water, since the bird is a kingfisher. Its feathers are detailed, and the rock’s texture is sharp, making it look real. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
A mounted photograph of a kingfisher is included in an album designated with museum numbers ranging from 3250:1-2023 to 3250:39-2023.

The Zoological Photographic Club took crisp, close-up photos of animals in the late 1800s, long before smartphones.
