Exotic, kitschy, artistic, trendy, and educational are all words - TopicsExpress



          

Exotic, kitschy, artistic, trendy, and educational are all words that can describe the art of taxidermy. Its popularity as a collectible has fluctuated for hundreds of years and it is currently a hot commodity. These preserved beasts proudly adorn the halls and walls everywhere from art galleries and museums to English manors and hipster apartments. This book covers the story of taxidermy, starting with the Egyptian mummification of cats to contemporary feather fashion on the catwalk. It is a beautifully bound book, modest in size, but not in content. Color photos fill the pages from cover to cover. A welcome addition to any quirky bookcase. -- Cheryl Ryan
