Schwerdt. "Three hundred copies only of this book have been printed and all plates have been destroyed. This copy is no. 99. [Signed] C.F.G.R. Schwerdt." Some of the frontispieces, plates, portraits and facsimiles are colored, some folded and some mounted. V. 1-3 were published in 1928 and v. 4 in 1937. Limited first edition, of this beautifully decorated catalogue of the collection of Charles Francis George Richard Schwerdt, on hunting, hawking & shooting, catalogued by H. Collmann and others. The volumes are hand numbered 238 (of 300), except for volume 4, which was published 9 years after the first 3, but it, like volume 1, is signed by the author below the limitation statement. Schwerdt (1862-1939) was a passionate book collector who first started collecting books on all sports and later narrowed his collecting down to the sports of hunting, hawking and shooting, resulting in the collection displayed in the present catalogue. After his dead in 1939, the collection containing printed books and manuscripts, was sold in four auctions at Sotheby's in 1939, and two more in 1946. In fine condition, with the pages untrimmed and only a few very minor marginal stains. The binding very good, with only the corners a bit worn. No. 289 of the beautifully illustrated catalogue of Schwerdt's collection on hunting, hawking and shooting, bound by Kelly & Sons.

Show moreFirst edition, first issue, of an extensively illustrated book devoted to hunting and falconry. It is charmingly designed, with rococo decorations, probably the main reason it has been described as a "well printed book" (Schwerdt), but the plates are skillfully engraved and lightly inked so that they reveal every detail of the engraving. The first part is devoted to the hunting of a wide variety of animals including the deer, boar, hare, wolf, fox, ermine, etc., while the second includes an extensive essay on falconry. The illustrations show hunting scenes, hunting dogs, traps, the various animals hunted and details of their horns, hooves, feces, etc., and in the second part 13 plates showing birds of prey, including a Eurasian eagle-owl and several species of falcon. The folding plate shows a deer-hunting scene. The engraver is erroneously identified by some bibliographers as "Hallou". "C'est à peu près le seul ouvrage cynégétigue illustré qui est été publié en France au XVIIIe siècle" (Souhart). The book was reissued with a new title-page in 1776. - In fine condition, with only occasional very slight foxing foxing. The binding very good, with a small tear repaired, a couple tiny worm holes and the corners bumped. Main Heritage Shelves General SK25 .G68 1769 Book Item-ID: i16828021 BIB-ID: 1508101 Show less
