Excerpt from Scientific Taxidermy for Museums: Based on a Study of the United States Government Collections
As common things lose their charm, so is it more particularly in this art. A person having this work should not leave it exposed to the eyes of the curious. The same caution should be used in the practice. Work by yourself that none may know the mysteries of the art, unless they are willing to pay for the information as you your self have done.
