"Notorious libertine Count Otto von Wildebeest scandalised polite society with his amorous antics."

Count Otto is not sorry. He has never been sorry. He holds his wine with the ease of someone for whom scandal is simply a lifestyle efficiently pursued. The smoking jacket is magnificent. The expression suggests he is already planning his next outrage and finds the anticipation rather agreeable.

Polite society is scandalised. Count Otto is gratified. The arrangement suits everyone.

They belong to Animabilia – a cast of ten sets of African animals reimagined as members of a deliciously fading Edwardian society. Think Downton Abbey, but on the savannah. A world of croquet lawns and dwindling dinner invitations, of notorious libertines and inveterate gossips, of fancy dress balls and expeditions nobody asked to hear about. Each print is a digital collage combining authentic Victorian and Edwardian fashion engravings with vintage natural history illustrations of African wildlife – two worlds that have absolutely no business being together, and yet are completely convincing.

If you've been looking for wall art that is genuinely original, quietly witty, and actually worth looking at closely – this is it.
