Lot 549

Baily's Hunting Directory 1939 -1949. 8vo. Hb. Original red cloth, gilt. Two fold-out maps. The 43rd. vol. of Baily's Hunting Directory resumes the Annual Record of Hunting at home and abroad after publication had to be cancelled in 1939, owing to the outbreak of WW2. Where possible,the new volume links up with the last edition (1938-1939), and continues the history of each hunt during the war years. most packs were semi-dormant during this period, but have now been re-organized, many with the increased practical interest of the farmers, who are contributing so much to the life, wealth, and sport of the country today. The aftermath of War brought many casualties to hunts abroad, particularly in Europe and in India, but the details of those which have survived make most interesting reading. For some the 'swan-song', as in the case of the Ramle Vale, Palestine, is a worthy record of sporting schievement. Vg copy of a less common Directory. CONDITION REPORT: Boards faded on spine. Pull out map very tatty. Please see additional images. We are unable to offer a phone line on this particular lot.
