Alfred Russel Wallace's personal cabinet

Take a look inside Alfred Russel Wallace's personal cabinet full of bugs and butterflies collected over his lifetime. Discovered by a Washington, D.C., lawyer in search of antique furniture, this is truly a Cabinet of Wonders, for inside is the 1700-specimen personal collection of 19th Century British naturalist, field biologist and contemporary of Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace.
