| Publisher Description: This early work on the art of taxidermy, Montagu Browne, was originally published in 1896. It is designed as an instructive manual on the various methods and processes involved in taxidermy, and includes chapters such as 'The Tools Used in Taxidermy and Modelling', 'The Collecting of Mammals, Birds, and Other Vertebrates, and Invertebrates, by Various Methods', 'The Skinning and Setting-Up of Birds by Various Methods', 'The Mounting of Animals in an Artistic Manner', and much more. Accompanied by many illustrations, this is a fantastic read for anyone with an interest in learning the skills of taxidermy.
