Reading through this incredible Taxidermy book that my mother-in-law got me for Christmas. If you have never heard of William Hornaday, I would suggest some doing light reading. This book is incredibly interesting..from a historical and/or artistic point of view. Hornaday essentially pioneered the “taxidermy industry” as we know it today and we still employ many of his methods in museums and galleries. He’s the father of the conservation movement and is the reason buffalo are not extinct today or that you cannot kill and skin a hummingbird. Such an interesting man, I recommend reading about him if you haven’t heard of him and are interested in or own any taxidermy. Amethyst from @lunaprosperity, amethyst ring from @4.5billion.

Today's Work

Today I helped a friend on one of his Hornaday projects (http://bit.ly/hornaday).  His project was, conveniently, at the same place as my Eagle Project is going to be.  He had some of his volunteers help me clearing out the area, which was totally awesome -- we fixed up the trail and made a lot of progress.  It's going to help a lot when it comes to project day!

William T. Hornaday:  Taxidermy and Zoological Collecting

Here's another spoiler for our 1st floor exhibit case: Dave brought this beautiful book from his home to go in our display among our information about William T. Hornaday.  This book, Taxidermy and Zoological Collecting, was published in 1891 during his term as Chief Taxidermist for the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.  

From an artistic, historical, and biological standpoint, this book is absolutely fascinating to look through!  In so many aspects was Hornaday ahead of his time in regards towards animal preparation and taxidermy, and this book discusses some techniques which we still employ in our museum today.  In many aspects of his personal life, however, Hornaday was a controversial and stubborn figure, but nevertheless passionate about wildlife and working ultimately towards its conservation.  Someday I'll tell you all about the time he put a pygmy person from the Congo named Ota Benga on display in the National Zoo in the primates exhibit as a way to illustrate convergent evolution, but that is totally another story.
