Walter Potter (1835-1918), a country taxidermist of no great expertise, became famous as an icon of Victorian whimsy. His tiny museum in Bramber, Sussex, was crammed full of multi-legged kittens, two-headed lambs and a bewildering assortment of curios. Closed in the '70s, the museum was variously re-established before being auctioned off in 2003. It was reported that a £1M bid by Damien Hirst to keep the collection intact was refused, but in 2010 many of Potter's key pieces were exhibited by the artist Sir Peter Blake at London's 'Museum of Everything', attracting over 30,000 visitors in 6 weeks. The subsequent dispersal of Potter's works has meant the loss of a truly unique Victorian legacy. Here, perhaps for the last time, the collection is preserved and celebrated with new photographs of Potter's best-loved works.… (mehr)

"Walter Potter's Curious World of Taxidermy" by Pat Morris and Joanna Ebenstein is a light-hearted biography and portfolio for the whimsically-inclined taxidermist, Walter Potter. It offers the history of his life, how he learned taxidermy, and his fascination with creating peculiar scenes out of preserved animal remains. Naturally, it has a humourous tone to it, which makes this an interesting perspective. It truly is a biography of an artist who just didn't care what other people thought of his work. The photos, art that Potter took inspiration from, and examples are wonderful guides throughout the whole book. I thoroughly enjoy looking through it! ( )

Gross. But interesting. ( )

I loved this morbid look at a little Victorian whimsy. Walter Potter was a British country taxidermist who created his own museum filled with anthropomorphic displays of his creations. It is an adult picture book that will feed your morbid curiosity.

Thanks to Blue Rider Press for sending me a complimentary copy. ( )
