Among the most famous of all thylacine
photographs, this one is entitled "Mr. Weaver bags a tiger".
Taken in 1869, it is one of only several 19th century thylacine photographs
known to exist. An unusually large albumin print made from a wet
plate negative, it was created through a complicated and time sensitive
developing process. The only older thylacine photo known to have
existed is one taken in 1864 by Frank Haes of an animal at the London Zoo.
Unfortunately, Haes's photo no longer exists.
