A rather comfortable koala. Taken on my first trip to Australia zoo. The shot is a bit blurry, but given the pose, it's still one of my favourites
George Auger, Tom Sordie, and a tiny pony

A beautiful and strangely haunting Barnum & Bailey Circus press photo. According to information I've found about a different photo shot at the same time, this photo was most likely taken around 1916. However the print dates back to around 1950.
George Auger (Born December 21, 1881 - Died November 30, 1922) stood 7' 5" tall and was also known as The Cardiff Giant. Tom Sordie, who was possibly also known as Paul Horompo and/or Paul Horvath, stood 29" tall.
This striking photo was acquired from the wonderful Diabolus etsy shop, run by Jack Mord, owner and operator of The Thanatos Archive, a truly extraordinary 19th Century post-mortem, mourning and medical photography that I've been enjoying for years now.
In addition to getting back on track documenting our collection of antique taxidermy, I've been meaning to do the same with our growing collection of old photographs (this photo is the latest addition). I'll try to scan and post at least a few photos each week.
