The edible frog or green frog (Pelophylax kl. esculentus) is a common European frog species that occurs naturally from the northern half of France to western Russia and from Estonia and Denmark to Bulgaria and northern Italy, and is also an introduced species in other parts of the continent. It is a fertile hybrid of the pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) and the marsh frog (P. ridibundus) and reproduces using hybridogenesis, a process in which one parental genome is excluded. The species is used as food – particularly in France, as well as Germany and Italy – as the delicacy frog legs. This edible frog was photographed in the Danube delta east of Tulcea, Romania.

The Malabar pied hornbill (Anthracoceros coronatus) is a bird in the hornbill family of tropical near-passerines. It is a common resident breeder in India and Sri Lanka, where its habitat is evergreen and moist deciduous forests, often near human settlements. It is an omnivorous species, consuming fruits, small mammals, birds, small reptiles and insects. It eats by killing its prey and swallowing it whole. Figs are an important food, contributing at least 60% of the bird's diet throughout the year. It breeds in March and April, during which time figs form up to 75% of the fruits delivered at the nest. This Malabar pied hornbill was photographed in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka. Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

The royal angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus) is a fish in the marine angelfish family, Pomacanthidae. It is found in tropical seas, including the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean around East Africa and the Maldives, the Tuamotus, New Caledonia, and the Great Barrier Reef. It is also found around Taiwan and islands off the coast of Japan. The royal angelfish has a maximum length of 25.0 centimetres (9.8 inches), with coloration varying by region. A commonality is that the body is edged in narrow blue-white and orange stripes that are narrow and angle backward. It is a carnivorous species, feeding on sponges and tunicates, and resides in coral-rich areas of lagoons and reefs as well as in the vicinity of caves. This royal angelfish was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Just pulling this here to avoid going too off-topic there. Note the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institution and a few other sites I use have the original negatives for some of the images. That can mean that we're looking at parts of the image they had intended to crop out.
Now, I'm not in any means suggesting we do crop them out unnecessarily (it can be hard to tell exactly where the top of an image is (For example, File:Robert Smalls - Brady-Handy - Original.tif, I'd say that the mirror-writing photographer's note scratched into the top of the negative indicates that's not an intended part of the image for use, and there's no real reason to consider that part of the image worth salvaging, but it certainly gets more ambiguous from there. As I've said before, I prefer to bias towards including as much of the image as possible.
But I'm mainly just jumping at the chance to talk historical photography. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 18:50, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
