Home Taxidermy for Pleasure and Profit (Illustrated Edition)

Taxidermy by Albert Farnham is a guide for those who wish to prepare and mount animals, birds, fish, reptiles, etc., for home, den, or office decoration. This volume of the Pleasure and Profit Library is offered to the hunter, trapper, fisher, vacationist and out of doors people in general. Thoroughness, patience, and some love for nature, are qualities highly desirable in this art. Work prepared by one possessing these qualities need not be ashamed and practice will bring skill and perfection of technique. As a handicraft in which the workman has not been displaced or made secondary by a machine taxidermy is noticeable also, and for many reasons is worthy of its corner in the home work-shop. Albert B. Farnham endeavored to give preference to short cuts and time-saving methods where possible, and especially hints on saving interesting and valuable specimens temporarily until sufficient leisure is had to do justice to their further preservation.
