"Though apparently unpublished, this interesting account of a hunting journey through Ladakh exists in at least one other copy, at SOAS University of London. That version differs in pagination, and has an albumen print as a frontispiece not present in this example. Both manuscripts appear to have been prepared with a view to publication, though it appears that no book was ever produced. Alternatively, they may both have been prepared for private circulation among friends. Reichwald, (later Blaker--he changed his name by deed poll) describes an excursion during a three-month leavestarting in Srinagar to Ladakh, where he successfully hunted burhel and kyang and unsuccesfully for Ovis ammon.

Robinson & Son Newcastle -upon-Tyne, head of spine chipped with loss (3/4 of an inch), minor rubbing [iii], 79 pp. Typescript on rectos only. 4to 11 x 9 inches (27.5 x 22 cm.).
