He concludes his narrative with a long chapter on game preservation, regretting not taking a proper camera into East Africa to record, ‘the wonderful herds which inhabit the great feeding grounds, opportunities for which may not recur when the game becomes rarer and wilder.’ Fair London Edward Stanford 1902 Reserve: $100 Click here to view further details and to bid

HUNTER, J. A. & MANNIX, Dan African Bush Adventures 8vo 223 x 150mm Hardcover in original maroon cloth bindings with silver title to spine in good condition, 252pp with 31 b/w illustrations. Dust jacket in good condition, with protective cover. Price clipped. A very neat and clean copy. There are some light pencil markings in the book and to the front margin. John Alexander Hunter (1887 - 1963), born near Shearington, Dumfries-shire, Scotland, also known as J. A. Hunter, was a white hunter in Africa from the early 1900s through the 1950s who led many notable safaris. He moved permanently to British East Africa in 1908, where he later led the Livermore expedition, with the aid of A.P.de K.Fourie, that opened up the Ngorongoro Crater to European hunters. He held several world records for big game at various times, and killed over 1,000 rhinos in Kenya, most of them in the Makueni hunting ground, which the Government needed to get rid of, in order to give these lands for re-settlement of the Kamba people. Besides safaris and other control operations for the Kenya Game Department, in Makueni Hunter killed 996 alone, from 26 August 1944 to 31 October 1946. It turned out that those lands were useless for human settlement. In later years, he became concerned about the possible extinction of the wildlife he had so assiduously hunted, and spoke in favour of conservation. His writings were notable for betraying his colonialist attitude, although his writings similarly betrayed a genuine respect and affection for the locales and peoples that he interacted with.

Cornwallis Harris, Capt.W. Portraits Of The Game And Wild Animals of Southern Africa 4to `First published in 1840 this famous work presented 30 magnificent animal `portraits`, the work of close and detailed observations by Harris, and inspired stone lithography by Frank Howard - a wonderful and greatly prized book. But it was also a huge and unmanageable book, too heavy to hold, and with a printed text that was scarcely legible. This reprint remedies the faults but preserves the virtues. Harris was an accomplished man - soldier, artist, author, engineer, diplomat, sportsman, naturalist and geographer. While on recuperative leave at the Cape he fully exploited his opportunities to travel and to hunt, to experience the strange and exciting African environment, to record his impressions and observations of the animal life and countryside. They are quaint and often shrewd, lively and tolerant,` [front flap notes]. Book condition: binding and contents faultless (previous owner inscription on front end-paper).

Theodore Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26th President of the United States(1901–1909). He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, and his leadership of the Progressive Movement, as well as his `cowboy` persona and robust masculinity.[4] He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the first incarnation of the short-lived Progressive (`Bull Moose`) Party of 1912. Before becoming President, he held offices at the city, state, and federal levels. Roosevelt`s achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician. Roosevelt was 42 years old when sworn in as President of the United States in 1901, making him the youngest president ever.

Frontispiece of Thomas Bewick by Sir John Everett Millais. Illustrated with 18 full page plates, and 38 in text by the author (listed). John Guille `Johnny` Millais (24 March 1865 – 24 March 1931), was the fourth son and seventh child of Sir John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelite painter. He was a British artist, naturalist, gardener and travel writer who specialised in wildlife and flower portraiture. He travelled extensively around the world in the late Victorian period detailing wildlife often for the first time. He is noted for illustrations that are of a particularly exact nature. In 1903 Millais co-founded the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire (SPWFE). Clearly a clubbable and convivial man, in 1909 Millais was a founder member of the Shikar Club, a sportsclub where like-minded associates could dine and discuss their passion for hunting especially big game hunting. Millais was passionate about hunting and fellow members included the famous hunters Frederick Selous (the brother of ornithologist Edmund Selous), African game hunter Arthur Henry Neumann, and explorer and hunter Frank Wallace. The club still survives and includes the Duke of Edinburgh amongst its members. Millais is one of the most respected of British ornithologists and bird artists, producing between 1890 and 1914 a series of books on birds and other natural history subjects. In the study of ornithology he was renowned for his portraiture of wildfowl and game birds. Condition: Lacks spine (clean edges with no fraying). Boards gently faded and or darkened.
