Walter Potter's curious world of taxidermy
Potter was a country taxidermist of no great expertise, but the anthropomorphic taxidermy tableaux that he built have become famous icons of Victorian whimsy. Many of Potter's most famour pieces were reunited for the acclaimed 2010 Museum of Everything exhibition. Here, for the last time, the collection is preserved and celebrated with new photographs of Potter's best-loved works.

- "Walter Potter (1835-918), 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."
