Description
287x195 mm. 1-[76], [1 full-page plate], 77-132, [2: errata] and 12 photographs of hunting dogs mounted on cardboard leaves (including one as a frontispiece showing two hunters on horseback) and protected by tissue guards with caption titles. Another full-page plate in the text on p. 73. Contemporary quarter green morocco gilt, marbled endleaves (slightly worn and rubbed). Some marginal foxing, but a good copy from the library of Pierre Mouchon, with his armorial bookplate on the front pastedown. Pierre Mouchon (1897-1962), the great bibliographer of French hunting books, continued Thiébaud's Bibliographie.
First edition. “Première edition de cet ouvrage très estimé, qui d'après Souhart, n'a été tirée qu'à 300 exemplaires. Elle est rare aujourd'hui” (J. Thiébaud, Bibliographie des ouvrages français sur la chasse illustrée de quarante fac-similés, Paris, 1934, 161).
The beautiful photographic plates are printed in photoglypty, a photomechanical process used to print the illustrations for the famous Galerie Contemporaine.
