About this product
Product Information
Welcome to Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter's fantasy world of rabbit schoolchildren, cigar-smoking squirrels and exemplary feline etiquette in Walter Potter's Curious World of Taxidermy… Walter Potter (18351918), a British country taxidermist of no great expertise, built anthropomorphic taxidermy tableaux that became famous icons of Victorian whimsy, including his masterpiece The Death & Burial of Cock Robin . His tiny museum in Bramber, Sussex, was crammed full of multi-legged kittens, two-headed lambs, and a bewildering assortment of curios. Potter's inspired and beguiling tableaux found many fans in the contemporary art world: it was reported that a 1M bid by Damien Hirst to keep the collection intact was refused when the museum finally closed. Here, perhaps for the last time, many important pieces from the collection are showcased and celebrated with new photographs of Potter's best-loved works. Darkly witty and affecting, Walter Potter's Curious World of Taxidermy makes a charming, whimsical (and yes, slightly morbid) gift.

" Walter Potter's Curious World of Taxidermy is one of the most important books I've read on Victorian taxidermy in months. It's like Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure , but with squirrels."-Gary Shteyngart, T Magazine, The New York Times

Almost perfect. They sent it out and I got it very quickly. Well packaged. Excellent price. They do good work as a seller. Every disc was clear of issues and played perfectly. Very happy overall. Only 1 disc was missing, but it was only the first 4 episodes so I'm happy, didn't bother contacting the seller because It's not a problem so they might be surprised to see that in the review, beyond that everything was great.
