This is a reprint of a 1908 instructional guide to the art of taxidermy. The methods discussed are primitive by today's standards. The fees and prices quoted give a historical perspective to the economy at the beginning of the 20th century prior to World War I. This work is more useful as a historical reference than as a training guide.
