Todays firstsest post EVER!!!... And now, free gifts of funness for your viewing displeasure...
First a Taxidermed person.
In 1825, Jules returned to Africa to resume collecting specimens. Finding there was more work there than he could handle, Jules sent for his younger brother Edouard in 1830 so that he may double the size of the collections.Edouard brought the material back to Paris in 1832 (?), but later that same year returned to South Africa to rejoin Jules, this time accompanied by the third and youngest of the brothers, Alexis
Amongst the material brought back from Africa was the preserved body of an African native, presumed one of the Bathlhaping people which inhabited the confluence of the Orange and Vaal Rivers, possibly in the village of Kgathlane. A young man of approximately 27 years of age who had died around 1830, his body was stolen by the Verreaux brothers, stuffed in the traditional methods of preservation and subsequently shipped to France along with an enormity of material collected by the two brothers.
