Mount being prepared for a rhino exhibit at The Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois. This photo features the making of a mold of the head and wrapping of the hind quarters to keep them from drying too quickly. Taxidermy studio and tools visible. DMNH staff would often take photographs to document work done at other museums. Scanning and access made possible by a grant from NEH.
