"Mr. Leonard Lion's mid-life crisis found expression in a penchant for embroidered jackets and an application to join the Hellfire Club."

Mr. Leonard Lion has made certain decisions. The embroidered jacket is one of them. The Hellfire Club application is another. He holds his cigarette with the studied nonchalance of someone reinventing themselves and is not entirely certain the reinvention is going to plan. The hat, it must be said, is doing its best.

Whether the Hellfire Club will have him remains an open question. One suspects they might.

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.
