Taxidermy: An Impressive Mallock barrel Salmon early 20th century 51cm high by 133cm wide P.D. Malloch was a celebrated Scottish taxidermist who operated out of Perth. During the last decades of the 19th century he realised that he could get a better result by casting fish (particularly salmon which are very oily and take months to degrease) rather than stuffing them. His productions are much sought-after and, like the present example, are usually placed in unusual barrel-shaped display cases.
