The Thibetan antelope before 1869

"The Tibetan Antelope" is a black and white photograph of a mounted antelope head by British photographer Arthur Lucas, created before 1869. The image depicts the head of a Tibetan antelope, known scientifically as *Kemas Hodgsoni*, with its characteristic long, ringed horns and a black stripe running down the center of its face. Lucas's image, likely created for a book or scientific journal, captures the animal's distinctive features with detail. This early example of wildlife photography emphasizes the natural world's beauty and intrigue, showcasing the unique features of a species not widely known outside of its natural habitat.
