Latin: Accipiter Nisus

A. S. Hutchinson, the noted Derby taxidermist, began in business around 1870, and continued into the present century. He worked for several northern museums , and was responsible for preparing and setting up the Seebohm Collection in Sheffield Museum. He is described in a note in The Zoologist 1878 by E. Howarth, the Curator of Sheffield Museum, as 'now stuffer at this Museum'. There are a few examples of his work in Harpur Crewe's Collection at Calke Abbey, including a Pelican in a ornate and decorative case containing attractive ground work and wax flowers.
