Helen Cowie examines the role of animal commodities in Victorian Britain. Focusing on six animal products – feathers, sealskin, ivory, alpaca wool, animal perfumes and exotic pets – she traces their rise and fall in popularity and assesses the humanitarian and ecological issues raised by their consumption.
