"Sir Christopher Crocodile's dwindling dinner invitations may have had something to do with his ponderous accounts of expeditions to find the source of the Nile."

Sir Christopher has been everywhere worth going and is absolutely determined you shall know it. The globe is there for reference. The album contains photographs nobody has asked to see. He stands with the confidence of a man who mistakes endurance for appreciation — and cannot quite account for why the invitations have become so terribly infrequent.

The Nile, one feels, has a great deal to answer for.

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.
