Original Leon Pray drawings <3 probably the most niche thing I collect. Pray was a taxidermist at the Field Museum for almost 45 years and made many guides for taxidermists, using his illustrations and knowledge he learned under famous taxidermist Carl Akeley. He also developed a bug proofing method for hides using Borax that replaced the previous toxic arsenic method. A lot of his mounts and paintings are still on display to this day at the Field Museum.
One of these days I’ll get around to scanning these and the other drawings of his that I have. Probably not many other people out there interested in him but I think his work should still be preserved.
And some more of his art I have in this post

Golden pheasant!
Since starting my career in 2022, I’ve been dreaming of trying my hand at one of these beautiful birds. (That, and a Lady Amherst’s!)
Imagine my shock when I got to check it off the bucket list so soon!

rook all mounted up! i had some difficulties as the wire i used in the legs was not strong enough to hold him up, hence the support wire, but thankfully he came out really nice :)

Pictured above are ‘maned’ deer, a very rare trait found in whitetailed deer which only expresses itself in about one in 10,000 individuals. It is suspected that this mutation is a form of atavism, meaning that it is a genetic trait inherited from the species’ ancestors
