A Clever Aubrey-Maturin Craft

May I get a regular sized one for my house, please?

A Livejournal user called grace_poppy has painstakingly recreated physician Stephen Maturin’s dispensary from Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series in miniature.   The amount of detail in this thing is pretty staggering, right down to the intricate glass specimen and medicine bottles, each with a minuscule label.

I admit, when I first came across it, I had no idea just how small the bottles where until the picture with a finger in it for scale.    The overall effect is really lovely.  I love that she’s chosen to do not just a single piece, but an entire room.  The lantern is the final touch that adds a nice welcoming glow to the whole thing.
