| Summary | "Taxidermy" by Leon L. Pray is a practical guide on the art of taxidermy written in the early 20th century. This work primarily focuses on providing methods suited to sportsmen and amateurs who wish to preserve their own trophies and specimens rather than training professionals. The book covers a variety of techniques for preparing and mounting different animals, including birds, mammals, and fish, making it a comprehensive resource for enthusiasts interested in this unique craft. At the start of the book, the author outlines the essential tools, materials, and methods required for taxidermy. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the details of the craft and the potential rewards it can bring, whether through personal enjoyment or commercial work. The opening chapters introduce readers to the foundational skills needed for taxidermy, beginning with tools and materials, and proceeding to the practical steps for preparing and mounting a bird. These initial sections set the tone for a hands-on, informative exploration of the craft, aimed at both novices and those with some prior experience in taxidermy.
