Baby’s First Butcher Shop, Circa 1900
PETA would never approve: This grisly 1840 doll-sized butcher shop with miniature animal carcasses and a floor covered in sawdust and blood would be shockingly graphic to our modern sensibilities. After all, here in the 21st century, we like to remain cheerfully oblivious about where our meat products come from. But in Victorian times, such detailed model butcher shops were not uncommon, says Sarah Louise Wood, a curator at the Museum of Childhood at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The real question is: Why exactly do such things exist? “It’s a form of escapism into a perfect world.” One answer can be found in Robert Culff’s 1969 book “The World of Toys,” which suggests that such playsets—like the ones produced by famous turn-of-the-century toymaker Christian Hacker—did well with Victorian children who weren’t at all squeamish about imagining themselves cleaving a calf’s flank.The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world .
