Walter Potter

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.

    I recall some little Walter Potter tableaux in Batley Town Museum. Some wonderful Victorian animal nightmares amongst all the flints and plates.
