Historic images of taxidermy and taxidermy related material from British Taxidermists.
This is just a compilation of imagery collected and donated over the years. We sincerely hope that you enjoy them. The aim of this section on this vast website is to donate material to collectors, researchers, musuems etc who do not possess such imagery. The images, whilst small on this page will be available in much larger "Jpeg digital image" formats for the use in advertising, limited print creation. This material shall be provided freely, just email in and enquire. We would prefer that this is done solely for your own enjoyment and not commercial gain, we are not deriving any gain from this also. This is a small selection and when we have time we shall contribute what we have to this page and subject. These items make very decorative prints when enlarged.
