Description
In-8°, pp. 256, legatura editoriale t. tela verde con bordura ornamentale in oro ai piatti. Titolo in oro al dorso. 15 tavv. a colori f.t., di cui una all'antiporta, tratte dalla prima edizione del 1837. Perfetto stato. Bella ristampa novecentesca di questo classico libro di caccia, con introduzione e note di Eric Parker. 'Gamonia is valuable not only for its rarity and charm. it is the first treatise devoted solely to the subject of pheasant rearing, covert shooting, and the management of woodlands for the special purpose of preserving game. We can see much of what is in [Rawstorne's] mind in the treatment of the subjects he has chosen for illustration: in the quiet ridicule of the unskilled, in the hint of knowledge of how the thing could and should be done; in the cold and snow in which he likes to set his sportsmen seeking their quarry, and in the serenity of sunlight in which in each drawing stands Penwortham, his home.'. Schwerdt, II, p. 127. Abbey Life, 392. Tooley, 393.
