Taxidermy in Mysore

Van Ingen and Van Ingen, based in Mysore was a leading taxidermy company . According to page 7 of the Winter 2009 Newsletter of Friends Of The British Library, which introduces a proposed talk by Dr Pat A Morris author of Van Ingen and Van Ingen: Artists in Taxidermy, available at the British Library: “This factory once employed 150 people, processing 400 tigers and 600 leopards each year” The factory operated from about 1900. It ceased to trade in 1990s but business had been in decline since the 1960s due to the laws restricting the hunting of endangered species – which included tigers. Further information can be found in the Wikipedia article Van Ingen & Van Ingen.
