In the 1850s the length of exposure time prevented pin-sharp photographs of wildlife that couldn’t be counted on to stay still. John Dillwyn Llewelyn’s ingenious solution was to pose stuffed birds & animals in appropriate natural settings. This duck at the base of a tree is quite convincing, if slightly glassy-eyed.

Eds note: Oswestry is actually in England, right near the Welsh border. (This counts as Welsh because it came from the camera of Geoff Charles.)
