Gambier, Bolton, Robert, Asiatic Elephant, Gambier, Bolton, Robert, , c.1890, Asiatic Elephant, carbon print, captioned and signed 'Gambier Bolton, F.Z.S. 313 (Regd)" in the print, mounted, framed and glazed, image to view 28cm x 23.4cm., Footnote: Robert Gambier Bolton (August 24, 1854 â July 29, 1928) was a prolific English author and photographer celebrated for his captivating portrayals of natural history and explorations into psychical phenomena. Throughout his extensive travels across various countries, Bolton meticulously captured the essence of wildlife through his lens. Notably, he documented animals on expeditions, including a remarkable journey alongside the Duke of Newcastle's entourage. Bolton's passion for animal photography transcended mere hobbyist interests; he was among the pioneering individuals who sought to commercialize this emerging field. His photographs not only served as artistic expressions but also as invaluable scientific records for esteemed societies. Despite initial underappreciation, his contributions found their way into esteemed journals and zoological publications, where they continue to inspire and inform readers about the wonders of the natural world. C.J. Cornich, 'How to See The Zoo', Cornhill Magazine, 1896 wrote "To watch Mr. G. Bolton is to learn how to see the zoo from another point of view than that common to ordinary or even scientific visitors. He is concerned, not with the habits, but with the form, appearance, and attitudes of animals",
