The golden age of taxidermy was during the Victorian era, when mounted animals became a popular part of interior design and décor. Taxidermy is the preserving of an animal's body via mounting over an armature or stuffing, for the purpose of display or study. The word taxidermy is a Greek word, literally meaning arranging skin. Taxidermy is sometimes also used as a means to memorialize pets.
