Natural History Books: Voodoo Salon, Errol Fuller, 240 pages, 2014, This book is a visual stroll through great examples of the craft - both historical and contemporary - with a commentary throwing light on its aims and intentions. Work commissioned by the world's great museums is featured; so too are pieces ordered by private collectors including familiar names from the past. 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. Published 2004. (2).

Sold for £80
Estimated at £70 - £100
