This book looks like a good read.

‘From style wilderness to height of cool, taxidermy has staged an extraordinary comeback. No longer confined to stately homes, stuffed animals are appearing everywhere from modern apartments to luxury department stores. High-profile artists have rejuvenated the medium and museums have dusted down their historic collections and put them back on display. Illustrated with stunning photography that explores this rich artform, past and present, this title is the most comprehensive and beautiful survey of taxidermy ever produced.’

Taxidermy by Alexis Turner contains the world’s greatest examples of taxidermy; from contemporary apartments and rarely seen private interiors, to luxury fashion shoots, museums and galleries. Also included are examples of a contemporary artwork including pieces by Kate MccGwire, Polly Morgan, Charles Avery, Tessa Farmer and Claire Morgan.
