	The Returen of the Arab Courier
		At the age of 60, Verreaux designed this extraordinary exhibit for the Paris Exposition of 1867, where it was awarded a gold medal.
		His Arab Courier is widely regarded as "the most ambitious attempt of its day"1 and "represents one of the earliest achievements in the development of the group concept of animal exhibition."2 It inspired highly theatrical exhibits by other European taxidermists who also depicted the age-old struggles between beasts, or between beasts and humans.
		Jules Verreaux, despite the now-antiquated taxidermic methods and materials at his disposal, managed to impart an extraordinarily lifelike quality to his work.

	Some Additional Notes on James Hepburn
		There are over 1500 skins, all in excellent condition, representing about 330 species, of most of which the series is extremely good, having, to all appearances, been selected to show the differences caused by sex, age, season or locality, particulars as to these points being carefully recorded in a MS.
		They have been carefully examined, determined, and ticketed by M. Jules Verreaux, Aide-Naturaliste of the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, and a Systematic Catalogue of the whole is in the course of preparation by Professor Newton.
		They are accompanied by a largo collection of eggs and nests carefully identified and authenticated.

		One enormous challenge was that Spielberg wanted E.T. to be only three feet tall with a telescopic neck and short, stubby feet.

	Taxidermy And Modelling
		The province of taxidermy, however, is not to make hedgehogs play at cards in toy houses with toy furniture, nor rats engage in (toy) ball-room festivities, nor to find material for the antics of a "Comic Naturalist." Such things may lend themselves to comic drawing, but they are distinctly out of place in taxidermic art.
		Contemporary with Ploucquet were Jules Verreaux, John Wallace, and Edwin Ward, whose " Arab Courier attacked by Lions," " A Horseman attacked by Tigers," and " Lion and Tiger Struggle," were--the first especially—fine pieces of work, which vied with Ploucquet's in execution.
		Later came Rowland Ward's " Jungle " at the Colonial Exhibition, a large and ambitious work ; and then museums awakened slowly to the need for more artistic and pictorial representations of natural objects.
