Hornaday and W. J. Holland is a comprehensive handbook on taxidermy and specimen collection written in the late 19th century. The work is aimed at amateur taxidermists, zoological collectors, sportsmen, and naturalists, detailing techniques and methodologies for preserving animal specimens and building zoological collections. The authors emphasize the importance of collecting while species are still abundant, given the alarming rate of wildlife extinction occurring during their time. The opening of the book sets the tone for its instructional content, outlining the urgent need for skilled collectors in light of the rapid decline of various animal species. Hornaday expresses a deep affection for the natural world, highlighting the responsibility of collectors to act ethically and efficiently in capturing specimens. He details the inherent challenges of the task and stresses the necessity of expertise in both collecting and the subsequent preservation of specimens. Whether addressing the need for proper fieldwork or the intricacies of taxidermy, the beginning encourages aspiring collectors to be diligent and informed in a pursuit that is increasingly critical for the preservation of zoological diversity.
