发帖数: 7349 | 1 A young couple are getting married. Dressed in a white vestment, a pastor
presides over the ceremony, holding his prayer book while staring out,
quizzically, at the congregation. Before him, the bridegroom gazes at his
partner, who is dressed prettily in cream brocade. The witnesses look on in
solemn silence, attired in morning suits and sumptuous finery.
But something about this group appears puzzling and, to modern eyes, a
little unsettling: it doesn’t consist of people, but rather 20 stuffed
kittens, posed to resemble humans, inside a glass box. Strange? Definitely.
Macabre? Perhaps. Welcome to the distinctive world of the British
taxidermist Walter Potter (1835-1918). |
