Hi all,
This is probably a long shot but….I’ve had an enquiry into the identity of one Professor Evans who was active in 1860. He was attached to a Natural History Museum in England and taught someone ‘how to cure and stuff birds’. The only Evans
in our archives was a lepidopterist so I don’t think he would be my first go to person for bird taxidermy training and he apparently wasn’t at the NHM. If anyone has any leads I’d love to know.
Many thanks,
Emily
