# Crispy Taxidermy Martin d'Orgeval's 'Touched by Fire' Showcases Singed Creatures By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-04-21 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-d-orgeval-touched-by-fire References: [cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/half-burned-animals/) & [bizarremag](http://www.bizarremag.com/weird-news/bizarre-life/8554/taxidermy_fire.html) The Martin d'Orgeval 'Touched by Fire' book is a collection of tragic photos. The images are upsetting and depressing as his lens captures the aftermath of a fire. The photographer was called down to take pictures of Parisian taxidermy shop 'Deyrolle' after it burned to a crisp. Much of the merchandise had turned into ashes, but quite a few sculptures survived the fire. If you would like see to more of this photo collection, click on the links provided.
