Profusely illustrated with black and white reproductions of illustrations from this periodical "first published in 1884 as a quarterly journal aimed at the growing number of sporting participants in outdoor activity. It became popular with those involved in horse-racing, polo, pig-sticking, foxhunting, coaching, angling, fishing, coursing, shooting, steeplechasing and other sports both at home and overseas. Articles took a fairly whimsical approach to narrative, both fact and fiction, complementing their readers' leisured lifestyles. Each issue had a strong pictorial element with George Finch-Mason, Robert Alexander and Cuthbert Bradley prominent from the start with both stories and illustrations. This book is a complete record of the publication with a detailed issue index, history and bibliography." - back cover. ; 8vo.
