BRYDEN, H.A. (Editor)
THE GREAT AND SMALL GAME OF AFRICA. An Account of the Distribution, Habits, and Natural History of the Sporting Mammals, with Personal Hunting Experiences.
1899.
Fifteen hand-coloured plates. Numerous photogravure illustrations. An excellent copy in the original green cloth; a very small area of the top upper corner of the front cover has been neatly nibbled by a mouse, it also - neatly and small again, in fact hardly noticeable - nibbled top corner of the page edges. The contents are fine, bright and tight. Large thick quarto. I have photographs of the mouse damage for interested parties.
