Description
CHABOT (Count of). Hunting Through the Ages. Paris, Savaète, 1898. Folio, contemporary fawn half-shagreen, ribbed spine, 408 pp. First edition of ‘the finest work published in France on the history of hunting’ (Thiébaud). This monumental history remains a standard work, for it is as an accomplished huntsman that the Count de Chabot presents the various methods of hunting, describes the breeds of dogs and their evolution, paints a portrait of his friends and illustrious huntsmen, recounts anecdotes from the Ancien Régime, explains the writings of authors of yesteryear, and traces the history of hunting back to prehistoric times. Illustrated with 4 colour plates and numerous black-and-white reproductions of historical documents. Slight foxing, a few stains. Spine detached. Expert: Mr Cédric De FOUGEROLLE
