This studio portrait from 1869 shows a Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, and the person who killed it, Mr Weaver. The Recently Extinct Plants and Animals Database shows handwriting below the photograph that says ‘native tiger of Tasmania shot by Weaver 1869’ and discusses the potential identity of the photographer and the location of the original. Additional information is on the Natural Worlds website.
