Descripción

2 vols., sm. folio, First Edition, with coloured frontispieces, 22 coloured plates, 72 plates in photogravure and numerous smaller photographs in the text, front free endpapers mildly browned; original green cloth, upper boards elaborately framed, blocked and lettered in gilt and blind, gilt backs, red sprinkled edges, a remarkably bright, fresh, clean set. Arguably the finest work of the two pioneers of wildlife photography. Cherry Kearton's photographs are perfectly complemented by brother Richard's text. 'It is confidently believed that the work will form the finest gallery of sun pictures of wild birds and beasts, taken amidst their natural surroundings, ever published in this or any other country' (Preface). To this day, the Royal Geographical Society's Kearton Medal is awarded for outstanding work in the field of natural history. Uncommon in this condition.
