Bullock’s Museum drawings & watercolors of the Platypus Anatinus, 1814, by an unknown English artist
“William Bullock was a nineteenth century naturalist and antiquarian, who established a museum of curiosities in northern England in the late 1790s, which moved to Liverpool in 1801. In 1812 Bullock moved his collections to London and the newly built Egyptian Temple (later Egyptian Hall), Piccadilly, which became an established London landmark, known as the London Museum. It closed in 1819, with some of the collection being auctioned, and some sold to the University of Edinburgh.”
