Description

Manuel du Naturaliste Préparateur

Manual of the Naturalist Preparer followed by the preparation of anatomical parts, to preserve cadavers temporarily or permanently.

Second part

by BOITARD - Book published in 1890 by Librairie Encyclopédique RORET, Paris

Uncommon edition of this manual for taxidermists and preparators on the various ways of taxidermizing an animal OR a human being for that matter...

After the art of stuffing and preserving animals, the manual goes on to discuss how to make human anatomical preparations, and how to preserve cadavers temporarily or permanently.

‘The aim of the preparatory naturalist is to reproduce as far as possible the living nature, attitude, gesture and, so to speak, movement of the animal they are not stuffing, but sculpting with its own materials’.
