About the Item

Otter and loss - Taxidermy in a glass machine - London Piccadilly, Rowland Ward Ld. 19th Century. Taxidermy is the art and process of preserving, mounting, and displaying animal specimens for various purposes, such as scientific study, educational exhibits, or as trophies. The word "taxidermy" is derived from the Greek words "taxis," meaning arrangement, and "derma," meaning skin. This fine example is from the well known shop of Rowland Ward Ld, located in the number 167 Picadilly in London, UK. Rowland Ward was born in 1847 and died in 1912, he was born to a family with keen interest in Scientific and Wild Life Preservation, where Taxidermy was a way to display animals who lost their life for their eternal preservation. Sadly with the demise in 1977 of the Business no longer is possible to commission and apreciate Taxidermy the way it was done on the late XIX Century.
