The Glorious Twelfth: Images

A number of stuffed toys were gathered from various sources. Fifteen of these were finally chosen based on their suitability for the "hunt".

The "game" was then catalogued with each animal being labelled using binomial nomenclature.

The identified specimens then underwent taxidermical treatment. Skin or fur was inverted and a robust stuffing was added. The trophies were then displayed or hidden in and around the streets of Deptford.

Finally a stage of mapping was undergone. Locations of the trophies would eventually be disclosed through the catalogue and the guided tours, but first it was up to the "pointers" to sniff them out.
