History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 115210-17 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The art of taxidermy dates back to ancient Egypt, where mummified animals were preserved for religious purposes. In the 18th century, taxidermy became popular in Europe as a way to study and display exotic animals. The first taxidermy manual was published in 1748 by a Frenchman named Reaumur. In the United States, taxidermy gained popularity in the mid-19th century, with the founding of the National Taxidermists Association in 1936. In recent years, taxidermy has seen a resurgence in popularity, with a growing interest in hunting and wildlife conservation. The use of new materials and techniques has also allowed for more realistic and lifelike mounts, such as freeze-drying and 3D printing.
