This vintage book contains a complete guide to taxidermy, with information on skinning, stuffing, mounting, and preserving a variety of animals, birds, insects, etc. Written in simple, pain language and profusely illustrated, this timeless handbook is ideal for the novice and would make for a valuable addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Taxidermy", "On Skinning, Stuffing, and Preservation of Birds", "Skinning", "Stuffing Birds", "Mounting Birds on Wire Frame", "Pelicans", "Pea-Fowl", "Dressing Birds with Wings Spread", "To Clean Feathers", "Preservation of Bugs, etc.", "Of Skinning Animals", "Stuffing and Mounting Animals", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on taxidermy.
