From natural history museums to hunting trophies and works by contemporary artists, stuffed animals exercise an astonishing fascination, as their presence is reminiscent of that of the living world. Under the title of Taxidermy, this book shows for the first time the most beautiful achievements of “the art of preparing, naturalizing and mounting the remains in such a way as to recreate a sensation of life”. A spectacular tribute to the beauty of animal shapes, but also to those collectors who have made them an often unusual, always surprising element of their daily decor!
