We
watched 'Collectaholics' on BBC 2, last night, specifically for the guy who had
over 500 stuffed animals. Well, as they correctly pointed out, the better
examples are actually mounted (hide stretched over a form) rather than
'stuffed' crudely with sawdust.
Fascinating
watching Mel’s reaction and incredulity at taxidermy being in vogue - but it is,
and has been, for a number of years.
So there
they were at Spittalfields selling excess animals to raise money for a giraffe (you
probably needed to watch it!) and what was one of the pieces they sold? A
little bambi. Hey presto! We have on our website a lovely Victorian example at
a very competitive price! Imagine how I shouted at the television…..
