Schedel van een muskusos, en profil before 1869

"Schedel van een muskusos, en profil" is a black and white photographic print depicting the profile of a musk ox skull, produced before 1869 by an unknown artist. The skull is the focal point of the image, filling a significant portion of the frame against a dark background, offering a detailed, close-up view of its bone structure and texture. The photograph’s stark contrast and high level of detail are characteristics of early photographic techniques. This image provides valuable insight into the natural history and scientific study of extinct or endangered species during the late 19th century.
