£425

Illustrative of the Wild Life of a Hunter
London, Ackermann, 1841.

First edition. Folio. Original blind-tooled green cloth, lettered in gilt to upper cover, rebacked in later green cloth.

The attractive plates of hunting scenes illustrate sporting adventures on the Bontebok Flats in Kaffaria, near the Kat River Settlement. The book was written and sketched on the spot and is valued for its record of this part of South Africa in its early years of the nineteenth century.
