We’ve got the scoop on Jack Black, rat-catcher to her Majesty Queen Victoria, who was one of the most famous characters in Victorian London.

Able to reach into a rat trap without being bitten, Black wore a “flamboyant costume of white leather pants, green coat and scarlet waistcoat with a rat belt-buckle (which he cast himself).”

Check out that sash!
