Written in an approachable yet scholarly style, Manton's guide combines practical instruction with philosophical reflections on the preservation of nature. This book is a valuable resource for aspiring taxidermists as it delves into various methodologies, from skinning and preserving specimens to mounting and displaying them. Manton's meticulous attention to detail and vivid descriptions situate the work within the broader context of natural history and the 19th-century fascination with nature's wonders, reflecting an era increasingly interested in the intersection of artistry and taxonomy. Walter Porter Manton was not only an accomplished taxidermist but also a naturalist keenly aware of the ecological implications of his craft. His exposure to the changing landscapes of America and his interactions with local wildlife informed his perspective, allowing him to develop a unique approach to taxidermy that honored the integrity of the specimens he worked with. Manton sought to democratize the art of taxidermy, making techniques accessible to those without formal training, reflecting his belief in self-directed learning and the importance of hands-on experience. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the art of taxidermy, whether beginners or seasoned practitioners.
