Five unusual items from the University of Reading Special Collections
I just spotted this link when I was doing a COPAC search and thought I'd promote it as most of these items are from the 19th century. It's an interesting article on the collections at Reading highlighting: A miniature library for children, mythical monsters, a print from The Great Exhibition, and Fat alpacas.
