Hansen, Taxidermy, Studios, Jersey City, New Jersey, a high quality adult male shoulder mount looking straight ahead, right horn 66cm (26"), left horn 65.5cm (25¾"), tip to tip 20cm (8"), from the wall 52cm (20½"), height 109cm (43"), taxidermist's impressed trade stamp to verso. The Hirola, also called the Hunter's hartebeest or Hunter's antelope, is a critically endangered antelope species found as of now, only in Kenya along the border of Somalia. The global hirola population is estimated at 300–500 animals and there are none in captivity. Despite being one of the rarest antelopes, conservation measures for the antelope have so far been marginal. The Arawale National Reserve was created in 1973 as a small sanctuary for them, but has been left unmaintained since the 1980s. In 2005, four local communities in the Ijara district, in collaboration with Terra nuova, established the Ishaqbini Hirola Conservancy. As of 2014, a 23 km2 predator-proof fenced sanctuary has been constructed at Ishaqbini and a founding population of 48 hirola is breeding well within the sanctuary.

This wonderful, rare example has been within the same family since 1930, lovingly housed and cared for and kept away from direct sunlight, this is the first time it has appeared for sale. Vendors provenance - 'my grandfather (born 1888) gained entry to the Indian Civil Service, and in time became part of the Political Service, mainly in the Princely States, in which capacity he was the Viceroy's representative. He therefore travelled widely, as 'adviser' to various Maharajas, and would be involved in the social entertainment offered to visiting dignitaries, which included tiger hunts. The gift of this tiger-head followed one of these events. My grandmother, when asked the girlish question 'did Grandpa shoot the tiger ?' answered with 'No, of course not, darling; he was just one of the party'. When they returned to the UK on his retirement, looking for a home, their belongings were put into storage. Which would have been with Chapmans of Taunton, given their label on the shield's reverse. The tiger was on the wall over the stairs in the first house they moved to, then, in the final one, on the wall in the large and not well-lit hall. Since that house was emptied to be sold, the tiger has been on a wall where I've lived'. Van Ingen & Van Ingen order book entry information as follows - order no. 14324, delivered 14.03.30, C.H.B.

(published anonymously with a fictitious imprint; probably printed in Paris), Small 8vo, full cont calf; title tag on spine missing; front cover split but intact; 418 pps. Very rare and scarce 1st edition of a French classic as described by Sir Walter Scott: ‘that a foreigner should thus prove himself more French than the French themselves is a major phenomenon in the history of literature. …unique in English letters as a masterpiece of French literature.’ Hamilton was born in 1646 either in Roscrea or Nenagh castle where his father was governor. The Memoirs tell the story of the amorous going-ons at the court of Charles 11 as told to Hamilton by his brother-in-law, Philibert, the Comte de Gramont. It was on the Vatican index from 1817 up to 1965. Hamilton had a chequered career in Ireland before moving to France. Almost 100 various editions in many languages have appeared of the work today. This edition is of the utmost importance as 1st eds rarely appear on the market. (1)
