Description
Discover the hilariously horrifying and fabulously fantastic realm of taxidermy like you have never seen before - featuring collections from shops, museums, cafes and collections from across the world.
At first glance, the world of taxidermy may seem a bit, well, stuffy. Dedicated experts, with detailed knowledge of biology and anatomy, labor away behind the scenes in museums to recreate life-like animals and give us an idea of how they lived. Well forget about all that business. There is a new breed of taxidermists in town.
Stuffed with a wonderfully weird collection of taxidermy from across the globe, Taxidermy Goes Wild will leave you both amused and confused.
Revel in scenes of musical mice, basket-balling bengals, gun-toting rodents and lawn-mowing moles. Bringing together all the scenes nature never intended, this full-color volume really does showcase the bizarre taxidermy on sale and on display. From a swearing squirrel in a London antiques shop, to a murderous mouse serving arsenic in a New York store, nothing is off-limits.
Taxidermy Goes Wild is the very best - and the very worst - of anthropomorphic wildlife.
Contents include:
- Animals with attitude
- Work and play
- Sporting triumphs
- Best-dressed beasts
- Domestic bliss
- Out and about
- House of horrors
