This special re-print edition of Cumberland's book "The Guinea Pig or Domestic Cavy" contains all the information a person needs to master the basics of raising Cavies or Guinea Pigs. Written in 1886, this book is one of the earliest ever written solely about the Cavy or Guinea Pig and is a storehouse of information on Cavies. Chapters include The Domestic Cavy, The Cavy Fancy, The Origin of the Domestic Cavy, The Cavy As Food, Breeding in Courts, Feeding Cavies, Breeding Cavies in Hutches, Diseases of the Cavy and much more.

In Beastly Possessions, Sarah Amato chronicles the unusual ways in which Victorians of every social class brought animals into their daily lives. Captured, bred, exhibited, collected, and sold, ordinary pets and exotic creatures – as well as their representations – became commodities within Victorian Britain’s flourishing consumer culture. As a pet, an animal could be a companion, a living parlour decoration, and proof of a household’s social and moral status. In the zoo, it could become a public pet, an object of curiosity, a symbol of empire, or even a consumer mascot. Either kind of animal might be painted, photographed, or stuffed as a taxidermic specimen. Using evidence ranging from pet-keeping manuals and scientific treatises to novels, guidebooks, and ephemera, this fascinating, well-illustrated study opens a window into an underexplored aspect of life in Victorian Britain.
