Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy por Melissa Milgrom
Well written & well reported but more than I really needed to know about the history of taxidermy and the world of contemporary taxidermists.

steve02476 | 7 outras críticas | Jan 3, 2023 | Often dismissed as morbid or kitsch, taxidermy is a world of intrepid hunter-explorers, eccentric naturalists, and gifted museum artisans, all devoted to the paradoxical pursuit of creating the illusion of life as documented in this quirky history.

mcmlsbookbutler | 7 outras críticas | Jun 29, 2020 | Is it bad I'm distressed at myself because I can't remember exactly when I read this? Probably summer 2010, but this fed my fascination with taxidermy. Melissa Milgrom shows how taxidermy unites art and science, the macabre and the majestic.

Daumari | 7 outras críticas | Dec 30, 2017 | Dips into the different facets of taxidermy: the British and American traditions, the dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History, Victorian fads, kitcsch, and Damien Hirst. It's as much a cultural study of taxidermists as it is a history of the craft. Great for making you think deeper about the process and motivations behind “stuffing” [sic] animals. No pictures, crazily.
