Publisher’s binding in beige cloth, illustrated on the front cover with a buffalo skull; title printed in black. Numerous illustrations and tables. A reference work listing records of big game trophies (elephants, rhinoceroses, buffalo, lions, antelopes, deer, etc.), with their measurements, geographical distribution and zoological observations. Published by the renowned Rowland Ward firm, a London-based taxidermist and gunmaker based at ‘The Jungle’, 167 Piccadilly, this work has become the historical benchmark for the measurement of hunting trophies, long before modern grading systems were introduced.
