Over 100 photographs on full page black-and-white plates. Pages i-xxvii; 1-286. Photograph plates not included in the numbering. Ex library copy, rebound in 1934 and again recently with new endpapers. Battered green cloth-covered boards, mended (1934). Gilt embossed lion\'s head medallion on front cover, original gold title re-used on spine. Book condition very good except for some occasional foxing. Introduction by President Theodore Roosevelt. Mr Keaton visited Borneo, Africa, India and North America to photograph wild animals. At great personal risk he confronted wild animals in their natural habitats, often lassoing rhinoceros, giraffe, zebra, warthogs, cheetah and eland to get better pictures. A remarkable saga of scientific adventure.
