Manual of Taxidermy - A Complete Guide in Collecting and Preserving Birds and Mammals Synopsis

This vintage book contains a complete guide to taxidermy, with information on skinning, stuffing, mounting, and preserving a variety of mammals and birds. 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: "e;Collecting"e;, "e;Trapping, etc."e;, "e;Shooting"e;, "e;Procuring Birds"e;, "e;Care of Specimens"e;, "e;Skinning Birds"e;, "e;Ordinary Method"e;, "e;Exceptions to the usual Method of Skinning"e;, "e;Ascertaining the Sex of Birds"e;, "e;Preserving Skins"e;, "e;Other Methods of Preserving Skins"e;, "e;Cleaning Feathers"e;, "e;Making Skins of Long-necked Birds"e;, 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.
