Born into one of the wealthiest families, Walter Rothschild became the best known zoologist of his day - and one of Britain's great eccentrics. Walter's life traversed the fields of politics and finance, as well as zoology, and was packed with achievement and incident. This book presents complexities and conflicts this man faced during his life.

Featuring black-and-white photographs from the Natural History Museum's archives, this book offers a flavour of life at one of London's oldest and most famous visitor attractions, from Victorian times until just after the WW II. It focuses on the events that have taken place over the years, the characters working at and visiting the Museum.
