What reading level is New Methods of Preparing Fishes for Museum Exhibit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During warm weather it is advisable to inject and wash the specimen with formalin before posing, to prevent the quick decomposition likely to follow the application of the warm glue. As a further precaution the cooling process may be hastened by artificial means.
III. FISHES IN COPPER. FROM WAX MOLDS BY ELECTROPLATING PROCESS.
The most difficult part of the work of preparing fishes is the reproduction of their silver and iridescent colors. Metal "leaf" and washes produce but a slight resemblanc...e to the original, and the resultant loss of detail and final dis- coloration of parts so treated emphasizes the necessity of preparing the highly metallic colored specimens in a manner whereby these difficulties may be avoided.
Some of the iridescent tints are imitated by the use of prismatic colors, but a white silver, or the various shades of this metal, as seen in the color of fishes, are possible only through a solid silver base.
Leaf and metal washes are not only dull in color, but are greatly darkened through the refraction of light, and it is impossible to secure brilliant effects by their use.
