Walter Potter’s Curious World of Taxidermy

Dr. Pat Morris with Joanna Ebenstein

Blue Rider Press / Penguin Random House 2014

Born in Bramber, Sussex, England in 1835, Walter Potter (d. 1918) grew up in the family inn/pub, The White Lion. He left school at the age of fourteen and began trying to come up with ways that his naturalist/taxidermy hobby could help encourage business at the pub. At the age of 19, inspired by his younger sister’s collection of nursery rhymes, Potter started creating his first major tableu, The Death and Burial of Cock Robin—a work that would take him seven years to complete. Housed within a wooden house-shaped case nearly two yards wide, Cock Robin features 98 birds, a small handmade bull, butterflies and other insects, and even a snake—artfully arranged in a solemn mourning scene down a path leading into a church. Some of the mourners are even crying glass tears. The work delighted the Victorian sensibility.

Eventually, Potter opened a museum to house his work and over the course of his life would create, among numerous smaller pieces, at least a dozen large tableaux with titles like: The Kittens’ Wedding (c. 1890), Rabbits’ Village School (c. 1888), The Upper Ten (c. 1880), depicting a squirrel card club, and The Lower Five (c. late 1800s), a scruffy rats’ den being raided by local police (also portrayed by rats).

love the idea of a young daley having carol and morris and pat and cap as parents and not thinking anything of it like to other kids on the playground "what do you mean you don't have 3 dads? who takes you to karate when one of them is at work?" and also having the strangest mix of dialects like all the northern slang and accent of the butchers but now that cap's in the mix he's being inundated with weird cap-specific mannerisms like the "good lord" and the throat clear and the noises like "ah yes well aehahuh very good" but he's 8 so everyone at school is like. what the fuck is going on. why do you talk like that.

Pat couldn’t sleep. He sighed for the umpteenth time and rolled over to look at the figure snoring softly next to him in the bed. He had been dating James for three years now but two months ago, they had made the jump to living together. Now was supposed to be a “honeymoon phase,” as the youth called it, but Pat didn’t feel any of that. At first, he figured it was because they were too old for it, but any feelings of excitement he initially felt were quickly replaced with anxious anticipation. Everything was reminding him of… her.

unfortunately due to fan fiction the idea of the captain interacting with young daley has become extremely important to me.
