In memory of Jim, died 1879, aged 15 years, faithful dog of Sir Henry Cole of this museum.
SW7, Cromwell Road, Victoria & Albert Museum, Pirelli Garden
These plaques are on the southern wall of the internal courtyard and we've heard that Jim, at least, was buried in this courtyard when it was a garden. Our picture for Henry Cole shows him with a dog but is it Jim or is it Tycho?
(We can see that giant box-robot doing the splits soon!)
