"Dapper young bachelor Mr. Xavier Zebra had high hopes that his Enchantress Rose would attract a suitable companion."

Mr. Xavier Zebra is a catch. The top hat is immaculate. The rose is perfectly chosen. He is hopeful in the way that only the genuinely eligible can afford to be – which is to say, entirely. Whether the Enchantress Rose will do its work remains to be seen. One rather hopes it will.

He belongs to Animabilia – a cast of ten 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.
