Madame Talbot's Spectacular Sideshow Emporium!




I now have proof that God really does listen and he cares, because he has brought me Madam Talbots Victorian Lowbrow Emporium. 

Madame Talbot has amassed a truly impressive collection of vintage medical paraphernalia, sideshow trinkets, curios, and gorgeous hand drawn posters by Madame Talbot herself! 

All pictures and item descriptions below taken from Madame Talbot's emporium

Among the many items available for purchase at this venerable establishment are:


  • Mephitic vapours collected from fetid graves.


  • Real Human Heart Night Light Curio
 

  • Foetal Skull in Framed Curio (30th week of pregnancy) resting on a vintage pink satin heart shaped pillow. Above the foetal skull is a lovely spray of vintage paper roses.  Below on the satin heart-shaped pillow, is a Victorian stamped brass funeral plague with heavy patina which reads: "Our Darling."


 
  •    A 1/4 inch thick Real human Brain Slice from ice pick Lobotomy Framed Curio. The brain is flanked by vintage lobotomy instruments. This slice of brain was removed by doctor Walter Freeman in the 1950s, at Danver's State Hospital in Massachusetts.

  •  Vintage Real Shrunken Head




  • A Victorian era framed real taxidermied monkey paw, tightly sealed behind glass as Madame Talbot "does not want to be held responsible for any consequences that may arise from bad wishing techniques."
 "Disclaimer: Beware To Those Who Wish!
The door of this Monkey Paw Framed Curio Exhibit has been glued shut as we do not want to be held responsible for any consequences that may arise from bad wishing techniques. Although the greatest care was taken in preparing this Monkey Paw Framed Curio Exhibit, the possibility remains at all times that consequences may arise from those who want to make their three wishes."


  • Vintage Circus Sideshow Giant Ring belonging to the Viking Giant, Johann K. Petursson, who in 1913 was the Tallest Man in the World. 
  • On the back of the postcard reads "Parents, 8 Sisters and Brothers all normal size. My Weight -- 9 lbs. at birth. By the age of twenty I was 8'8". Weight -- 425 lbs. Shoe size 24. All clothes made to order. P.S. Except handkerchief."


  • Victorian Down Bros. Brass Ear Syringe from an outstanding private collection. 10 inches long with plunger shut.

  •  Framed real Bloodsucking Leech Curio. This is an actual wet specimen of a soaked leech nestled inside a Victorian wood box, surrounded by vintage red velvet drapery and gold metal bullion trim.
  • A 30 week old foetal skeleton dressed in babies clothes, resting on a bed of black fabric roses surrounded by a lovely spray of white calla lilies. Above the foetal skull is a Victorian stamped brass funeral plague with heavy patina which reads: "Our Darling."



  •  Till Death Us do Part Curio, with a real human skull which has been cut in half and placed side by side, this is a personal favourite!






  •  BLACK DEATH PLAGUE DOCTOR POSTER by Madame Talbot.
