Description
Martha Maxwell was an innovative taxidermist whose skills changed the craft. She was among the first taxidermists to display animal specimens in their natural habitats. Her exhibit at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876 was described as a "startling revelation of what a woman can do in one of the most difficult fields of art" and made her famous throughout the nation.
