Jack Black was rat-catcher and mole destroyer by appointment to Her Majesty Queen Victoria during the middle of the Nineteenth Century. Black cut a striking figure in his self-made "uniform" of scarlet topcoat, waistcoat, and breeches, with a huge leather belt inset with cast-iron rats. Black was, among other things, an accomplished dog breeder. He is quoted in Henry Mayhew's "London Labour and the London Poor", Vol. Wikipedia
