John Foster

Accidental Mysteries, 08.26.12

Accidental Mysteries is an online curiosity shop of extraordinary things, mined from the depths of the online world and brought to you each week by John Foster, a writer, designer and longtime collector of self-taught art and vernacular photography. “I enjoy the search for incredible, obscure objects that challenge, delight and amuse my eye. More so, I enjoy sharing these discoveries with the diverse and informed readers of Design Observer.”

Those lovely glass eyes come from the Wellcome Collection in London and the picture is their image.

This would be a better link rather than the Tumblr.

You are right Rick, we'll correct that. Thanks, the Wellcome Collection is a fabulous collection.
