Facsimile reprint: 16 page introduction by Frank Bradlow, colour title page, map, 30 fine colour plates, quarter brown Rhodesian buffalo leather titled and decorated gilt on the back, green cloth, a very good copy.
The best of the reprints of Harris\'s fine folio volume. The plates are reproduced to the actual size of the original and the text is reproduced in full together with all the chapter tailpieces. Frank Read founded his own private press in Mazoe in the 1960\'s and the production of the \'Portraits of the Game\' required that a new hand-fed flatbed lithographic press be specially built. This type of press was selected so that the colour printing technique would approximate as closely as possible to the methods used in the original printing of 1840.
Number 161 of the facsimile reprint issued in an edition limited to 550 copies, signed by Frank Read, the publisher.
