Charles Dickens, for instance, grieving at the death of his pet raven, paid a taxidermist to preserve its outward form. Together with The Victorian Taxidermy Co Ltd, a fantastic full colour pictorial reference soft back book cataloging the fine art taxidermy offered for sale by the Victorian Taxidermy Company. A lavishly printed book that is now becoming increasingly rare to find. 139 pages full of the finest cases of taxidermy by many different exponents of the craft. A fantastic reference book.
