This comprehensive guide serves as an instructional manual for amateur ornithologists and collectors, focusing on the techniques for collecting, preserving, and mounting birds and mammals. It highlights the evolution and growing interest in taxidermy during this period, emphasizing the importance of skillful practice and care in the craft. The opening of the manual sets the stage for an exploration into the art of taxidermy, portraying a time when amateur collectors were viewed with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Maynard reminisces about the past, noting the lack of readily available resources for collectors and the need for a guide to navigate the challenges they face. He outlines various methods for capturing birds, the necessary tools and techniques for skinning and preserving specimens, and the importance of understanding animal anatomy to create lifelike representations.
