(Hardcover, 1969). (1946) 1969 3rd edition revised. 8vo (145 x 225mm). Pp126. B/w photograph plates, bibliography. Maroon boards, spine titled in gilt. Good copy in dust-wrapper. For many years this was regarded as THE standard introduction to falconry. The second edition was completely rewritten for the use of the "modern" falconer. Illingworth's tales of hunting for eyries and collecting eyas peregrines and gyrs have been much toned down. This is a much more practical handbook than the first edition. The third edition lacks the colour frontispiece of the second, and has a few more minor revisions. .

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Revised. From the library of Eric Hosking. pp. 127 ; b/w photogrpahs throughout by Eric Hosking, tipped in colour frontispiece by Roland Green. Original dust jacket very good, light wear, closed tear and crease to rear panel, now protected in a clear removable sleeve, not price clipped. Contents clean and tight, Eric Hosking's plate to the front pastedown, otherwise unmarked, no inscriptions. A very good association copy. Eric Hosking, OBE, Hon FRPS, FBIPP (1909-1991) was widely acknowledged as one of the world's most eminent natural history photographers, "Perhaps the most famous bird photographer ever to have lived" (Gemma Padley). He was pioneering and developed new techniques, especially the use of flash photography and automatic shutter release technology, which enabled him to photograph birds at night and freeze birds in flight for the first time. Famously, when just 28 he lost an eye to a tawny owl while climbing up to a hide in rural Wales, the event which inspired the ingeneous title of his autobiography "An Eye for a Bird", 1970. Over his exceptionally long career he photographed over 1,800 species, and his pictures have appeared in some 1,000 books, including the popular New Naturalist series, of which he was photographic editor. Hosking was not only a photographer of birds but also a highly knowledgeable ornithologist.] Size: 8vo. Book.
