Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy by Melissa
Milgrom
"The sight of a particularly fine animal, either alive or dead, excites within me feelings of admiration that often amount to genuine affection; and the study and preservation of such forms has for years been my chief delight."
This is a quote from one of the forefathers of taxidermy, William Hornaday of the Smithsonian, from his 1891 manual, Taxidermy and Zoological Collecting.
