The Large Game and Natural History of South and South-East Africa

This well-illustrated work details Drummond’s sporting adventures from 1868 to 1872 in South and Southeast Africa. There are long chapters describing his hunting experiences after buffalo, eland, lion, elephant, rhinoceros and leopard with attendant narrative on various antelope and on hunting game with dogs. The illustrations include a chromolithographed frontispiece and title page, tinted full page plates, a single page map, and text illustrations. The original gilt pictorial green cloth is rubbed and worn along the edges and spine ends, and there is a little nibbling to the lower edge of the rear cover. Original brown endpapers. Contents show a moderate amount of soiling. A good copy, all original, but well-read.
