Description
CHABOT (Count of). Hunting Through the Ages. Paris, Savaète, 1898. Folio, paperback, 408 pp. First edition of ‘the finest work published in France on the history of hunting’ (Thiébaud).

Illustrated with 4 colour plates and numerous black-and-white reproductions of historical documents. Unbound copy. Spine split with missing sections. Heavily damaged. Expert: Mr Cédric De FOUGEROLLE
