and adjustable Perspex fanning vents for ventilation

there are no cracks and the baluster carving and finials are all in tact

artery and organ clearly matched to a key to the bottom of the poster

crocodiles and snakes for the reptile cage

ears and hooves all remaining largely in tact as are the original castor wheels on which he sits

He still drinks too much

the Life and the Truth
