About This Item
"I have tried to include all names of any note in this book, with descriptions and plates of their work: almost 1000 preparations have been illustrated in full colour at near life size. Some are clearly commercial, others amateur, and still others labelled simply by collectors; the only criterion is that mounts with their names on them are quite often found in collections. While some names have been ommitted, and information about others is clearly quite lacking, I concoluded that I should set out for others all that I had learned over the years, so the book is offered not only as a statement of what is known at the moment, but also as a basis for further work." (author's preface).
If you collect or are interested in this field, this is a must for your reference shelves. It has become increasingly scarce over the years.
