J. McConnaughay is a practical guide combining vocational training and artistic craftsmanship, written in the late 19th century. The manual provides barbers with instructions on their craft, including techniques and recipes for hair care products, while the taxidermy section offers methods for preserving animal specimens. This dual purpose makes the work useful for those in both the barbering and taxidermy trades, seeking to enhance their skills and expand their business opportunities. The opening of the text introduces the reader to its two-part structure, explaining that the first half focuses on barbering, providing essential techniques for grooming, product preparation, and maintaining hygiene in the barbershop. It highlights the importance of mastering one's craft by learning from predecessors, suggesting a wealth of recipes and practical advice to help barbers make their own products, ultimately showcasing the trade's history. The second part transitions into taxidermy, where the author shares his expertise gained over decades, detailing the intricate processes involved in preserving and mounting animals, thus serving as a comprehensive resource for practitioners in both fields.
