Hello, dear, and welcome to my little blog. This is a place for me to share my collection of old photographs from 19th to 20th century, pictures I have taken and that I find pleasing, hedgehogs, music and beautiful things I have come across while digging through the Internet. I hope you enjoy your stay.

My name is Sanna, I am 26 years old and come from Finland. I collect old photographs and enjoy making art for my own pleasure. I like quirky animals, such as hedgehogs and tapirs, good tea, wonderful people and everything beautiful and morbid.

  8. tuesday-johnson: ca. 1852, “The hippopotamus at the Zoological Gardens, Regent’s Park” This hippopotamus named “Obaysch” was obtained from the Ottoman Viceroy of Egypt in 1849, in exchange for English greyhounds and deerhounds. Obaysch was an exotic sight, no doubt—as many Europeans had only ever read about hippos. Visitor numbers to the zoo doubled after his arrival at Regent’s Park. via
