Walter Potter [1835-1918] was an English taxidermist who created anthropomorphic dioramas featuring stuffed animals mimicking everyday human life. He opened a museum in Bramber in Sussex, England to cater for the eccentric Victorian love of the macabre.

Touch of the Dr. Moreau about him.
It is so important to have your journal accessible.. thank you for all your time.
I recall some little Walter Potter tableaux in Batley Town Museum. Some wonderful Victorian animal nightmares amongst all the flints and plates.
Is that kitten the right way up ;)
