EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The processes and apparatus of taxidermy" offers a glimpse into the intricate world of preserving animals for display. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this print showcases the various tools and techniques employed in taxidermy during that era. In this detailed illustration, we witness a skilled taxidermist meticulously working on different specimens. From removing the skin of a tiger to casting mannikins for accurate body shapes, every step is carefully executed. The process involves using knives, scalpels, scoops, scrapers, and even brain-eye scoops to ensure precision. The image also highlights other essential tools such as steel combs, shears with blunt tips for delicate work on plumage or fur, bone drills for mounting purposes, long-nosed pliers for manipulation tasks like positioning eyes or beaks accurately. Calipers are used to measure proportions while stuffers help create lifelike forms. Additionally featured are brushes for cleaning and grooming feathers or fur before attaching them back onto the animal's preserved skin. Needles pierce through layers while modellers shape clay or wax details like noses or claws. Triangular files and gouges add texture to surfaces. Overall, this lithograph provides valuable insight into early 20th-century taxidermy practices - a fascinating blend of artistry and scientific knowledge that allowed us to appreciate nature's beauty up close within museum displays worldwide.
