We here at Morbid Anatomy have been hard at work of late in our attempts to track down as many pieces as possible from Victorian anthropomorphic taxidermist Walter Potter's now sadly divided up Museum of Curiosities. Many of these pieces were brought back together for the wonderful 2012 Museum of Everything exhibition, but a great deal more have never been seen since the Bonhams auction which dispersed them in 2003.

Which brings me to my plea: If any of you lovely Morbid Anatomy readers out there happen to own any of pieces from this collection, or have any ideas as to where others might reside, we would be so very grateful if you would drop us a line at morbidanatomy [at] gmail.com and let us know.
