with wings spread, but sometimes the wings should be cut off, sewed on on opposite sides, so that they may be reversed; that is, the back of the wing may be toward the breast in cases where it is desired that the back of the wings and breast should show.

Sometimes both sides of the specimen show; or, in other instances, the back is covered with paper, silk, velvet, or other material.
