theoddmentemporium:

In 1861 Walter Potter exhibited his first large scale taxidermied tableau illustrating the well known children’s poem, “The Burial of Cock Robin.” Until his death in 1918, Potter created numerous scenes from everyday domestic life – a cricket match, a tea and croquet party, a wedding, a schoolroom – using taxidermied guinea pigs, rabbits, kittens, squirrels, and other small birds and animals, all of which were on display in Potter’s Museum along with more naturalistic pieces of taxidermy and other items of curiosity.
