Taxidermy in Mysore
Van Ingen and Van Ingen, based in Mysore was a leading taxidermy company . According to the Winter 2009 Issue of the Newsletter of Friends Of 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.
