Philipp Leopold Martin dating history

Details

Philipp Leopold Martin (5 November 1815 – 7 March 1885) was a German taxidermist, naturalist, and a popularizer of natural history. He was self-taught and was involved in early proposals for bird and animal conservation efforts in Germany and was among the first to use the term "Naturschutz" [nature conservation]. He published a three volume work on taxidermy, dioramas, zoo design, and museum displays for natural history education titled "Praxis der Naturgeschichte" in which he used the word "museology", possibly for the first time in 1869.
