History
George Frederick Dippie (1873-1935) was a taxidermist and collector of birds and eggs. Dippie was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England, on September 3, 1873. His studies in taxidermy and natural history began under the Yorkshire naturalist W.J. Clarke. He moved to Canada with his parents in 1892, and quickly found employment with Toronto taxidermist Oliver Spanner. In addition to collecting birds and eggs in Toronto, Dippie travelled to Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia, relocating permanently to Calgary. There he entered into a partnership with W. Grant Mackay, forming Mackay and Dippie Ltd., Fur Dealers and Taxidermists. Dippie died on September 14, 1935, in Calgary, Alberta.
