Description
Twentieth Edition. Blind stamped purple cloth with gilt titles to the spine. 12mo. [xii] 150pp. with six plates, a woodcut vignette and other diagrams within the text. Spine faded. Firm binding. Brown's manual became one of the most influential nineteenth-century guides to practical taxidermy and played a significant role in popularizing natural history collecting during the Victorian period, It preserves an important record of historical specimen preparation techniques employed in early museums and scientific collections. Brown also emphasized techniques that could be employed by non-specialists, helping democratize scientific collecting.
