In-8, publisher’s binding in brown half-shagreen with corner caps, smooth spine decorated with gilt fillets and hunting motifs, gilt head, 216 pp. First edition, printed on Holland paper, of one of the finest and most important works on deer hunting.

Illustrated with 40 plates based on the author’s drawings, including 16 in colour and 24 in monochrome, and 71 illustrations within the text. A very interesting preface by the Count of Haussonville, in which he recalls his hunting memories (his father was a hunting master). Good condition. Small tear at the top edge. Spine sun-faded.
