The Lion of Gripsholm Castle, from 18th-century Sweden, is considered one of the worst examples of taxidermy. In 1731, King Frederick I of Sweden received a lion as a gift from the Bey of Algiers. It was one of the first lions in Scandinavia and was kept in captivity and displayed for several years until it died. The story goes that the taxidermist hired to stuff and mount the lion had never seen a real lion and took some artistic liberties.
Another theory suggests that the taxidermist knew what a real lion looked like but deliberately chose to stuff it in a way that resembled a heraldic lion found in Sweden's Coat of Arms. I'll give the taxidermist the benefit of the doubt and assume that the lion's appearance was intentional. After all, the stuffed lion even holds a traditionally heraldic pose with its tongue sticking out, not to mention its somewhat cartoonish appearance.

this terrific @AlexVuocolo piece in @NoemaMag, about the difficult political economy of maintenance, has me thinking about the gulf between what humans know to be important in their own experiences, and what their collective systems can value/prioritize
