Victorian Taxidermy

The golden age of taxidermy was during the Victorian era, when mounted animals became a popular part of interior design and decor. Displays of birds were particularly common in middle-class Victorian homes – even Queen Victoria amassed an impressive bird collection. Taxidermists were also increasingly used by the bereaved owners of dead pets to 'resurrect' them.
