Show moreby Francis Henry Salvin and William Brodrick. Includes index. Rare copy of the first edition of a complete and important treatise on the art of falconry by Francis Henry Salvin (1817-1904), in which he describes the various species of birds used in England, both hawks and falcons. The treatise is illustrated with 24 lithographes by William Brodrick (1814-1888). The stones for the first edition were destroyed after publication so the plates for the second edition (London, 1873) had to be redrawn. Front cover with small wormhole; some dampstaining not affecting images; first plate loosening. Very good copy.

Collection of treatises on hunting in the Netherlands in the 19th century. A.H. Verster van Wulverhorst was forester in the Dutch province of South Holland, and is especially known for his Traité de Fauconnerie , for which he cooperated with the ornithologist H. Schlegel. In the present treatise, Verster van Wulverhorst gives a short survey of the history of hunting before dealing extensively with the hunting regulations in the Netherlands. The full-page engraved plate shows two bisons, the folding lithographed plates depict a hunting scene from the Bayeux tapestry and European and Arabian falcon hunters from the Middle Ages. Ludolf Sloet van de Beele (1806-1890) describes the history of hunting and discusses animals that live(d) in the Netherlands. He was later appointed to the post of Governor-General of Indonesia (NNBW V, cols 751-753). The volume continues with an article by the eminent ornithologist, Herman Schlegel (1804-1884; NNBW IV, cols. 1232-1233), who was Director of the Leiden Museum for Natural History. In "Over de Inlandsche Dag-Roofvogelen" Schlegel gives an accurate description of Dutch birds of prey that hunt by day. He distinguishes eight types, the falcon, hawk, harrier, seaeagle , fish-eagle, kite, buzzard and honey-buzzard, which he lists on the folding table together with their subtypes. The accompanying lithographed plate shows a selection of eight birds. The volume continues with an anonymous article, "De Valkenjacht," (falcon hunting) and a section from Mededeelingen uit het Gebied van Natuur, Wetenschap en Kunst (ed. A. Cohen) from 1844, on large animals that used to live in the Netherlands but have become extinct, and other notes on zoological matters. Minor tears in the folding plates to Schlegel's article, some loose leaves in the final section, hand-written ownership entry first endleaf.
