Synopsis
With an abundance of preserved flora and fauna, taxidermy, and otherworldly creations, the Deyrolle boutique is dedicated to showcasing the beauty of nature. A family venture founded in the spirit of discovery, Deyrolle s 185-year history is a Pandora s box of scientific and aesthetic discoveries. Deyrolle flourished under the nineteenth-century passion for natural history, garnering celebrity devotees from Dali to Nabokov, and quickly established itself as a center for education and research. A vocal advocate of sustainability and responsible business practices in the fields of taxidermy and entomology, Deyrolle works only with creatures that have expired from natural causes. Raising awareness for environmental and wildlife causes such as world rhino day, Deyrolle combines science and art, lightheartedness and engagement. This book provides fascinating insight into the history and day-to-day workings of this unique Parisian institution and into the wonders of the natural world.

--La Mode A La Francaise "A PEEK INSIDE DEYROLLE OF PARIS, THE WORLD'S MOST AMAZING TAXIDERMY SHOP: The modern-day Deyrolle, situated in Paris' 7th arrondissement, combines science and art, natural beauty, and "socially conscious engagement," helping to raise awareness for wildlife conservation around the world. But whatever your motivation this is a stunning addition to any library."

"a lusciously illustrated book" --1stdibs
"Not just a beautiful, colorful book filled with animals, shells and minerals, it is a fascinating read!" --French Garden House
"Written in old-fashioned, formal, stilted sentences, it perfectly conveys the traditions of a particular school of landed gentleman-scientist, keen on botany, oceanography, gardening and nature generally. The illustrations are perfect too, reminiscent of dried ink, chalk dust and flies buzzing at the tops of windows. Reading it is like stepping back fifty years into another, more wondrous, more innocent and now almost lost world" --The Connexion
