I creased; a good copy in contemporary red straight-grained morocco, covers with a wide floriated border in gilt and blind, spine gilt in six compartments, lettered and numbered directly in two, the others with a gilt block of a tiger hunting a deer; edges a little rubbed, corners bumped.Second quarto edition, one of the most beautiful of all hunting books, first published in 18057. Williamson served over twenty years in Bengal, and his pig-sticking, tiger-shooting, and buffalo-hunting adventures are described here, with lively illustrations after his original sketches by the self-taught sporting artist Samuel Howitt (1756/71822). His early work showed a debt to Thomas Rowlandson, his brother-in-law, 'but Howitt developed a more individual style as his career as a sporting artist progressed. He seems to have had an innate capacity for drawing animals, from commonplace hare and deer to exotic species that he studied in menageries. He was an animated draughtsman, and his drawings of hunts and sporting events have a fluidity and excitement fitting to the subject' (ODNB).The work was first published in twenty monthly folio parts for subscribers, with aquatint plates in 18057, and then in reduced size edition of 18078, with the plates etched by Evans. Both the folio and the quarto editions were reprinted in 1819. Abbey, Travel 427 (1807); Czech, p. 228; Schwerdt II, p. 298 (1807 & 1808); Tooley 510.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Second. Second edition. London: Howlett for Thomas M'Lean, 1819. Oblong broadsheet folio (17 13/16" x 22 7/16", 453mm x 570mm). [Full collation available.] With a pochoir illustrated-title and 40 hand-colored aquatint-engraved plates. Bound in late-XIXc green panelled morocco by Pfister Co. (their ink-stamp to the verso of the front free end-paper). In the corners, a stag, a fox, a lion and an elephant all gilt. On the spine, five raised bands. Title ("WILD/ SPORTS/ OF THE/ EAST") gilt to the second panel, author gilt to the fourth, imprint gilt to the tail. Gilt rolls to the turn-ins. Cream watered-silk end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Sunning to the spine and peripheries. A little rubbing at the hinges, and along the peripheries. Fore-corners bumped. Evenly tanned, with offsetting at the plates. Tears to the edges of the leaves and plates, some repaired, seldom if ever affecting text or image. Lower fore-corner of leaf 12 restored (not affecting the text). Thomas George Williamson (ca. 1759-1817) served as an officer in the Bengal army of the British East India Company whose career was cut short for publishing in a newspaper his view of military policy. As such, he occupied a liminal position in British India, which allowed him to make rather more interesting observations than many of his co-evals (e.g., Cornwallis). Oriental field sports, first published in 20 parts in 1807 (reissued in 1808, and, per Tooley, "greatly inferior), is, as the long title suggests, an ambitious work that hazards far-reaching observations about Indian natural history, landscape and culture. Samuel Howitt (1756/7-1822) specialized in the illustration of animals; the pochoir (i.e., stencil-painted) title of a recumbent tiger is an emblem of British books on India. Bibliographers do not generally (Abbey notes the Young imprint) record the present edition, which has come to market with imprints of Orme, Young and McLean as here. The watermarks (seemingly to the text only) date to 1817 and 1818. Frank J. Pfister (ca. 1853-1935) established a book-binding firm in New York in the late XIXc, at times working with Alfred William Launder, the Metropolitan Museum's first bookbinder. Cf.

Add to basketA superlative copy with pre-publication watermarks of the rare first edition of "the most beautiful book on Indian sport in existence" (Schwerdt) and justifiably described by the distinguished art historian Martin Hardie as "one of the finest series of sporting plates ever published". The vivacious Samuel Howitt was a self-taught artist who started life as a man of independent means; he was a keen sportsman, hunter, rider, and angler. He "turned professional when financial difficulties forced him to earn a living. He drew on his enthusiasm and knowledge as a sportsman and produced sporting and natural history paintings, etchings, and illustrations" (ODNB). He was Thomas Rowlandson's brother-in-law and his "early watercolour style has similarities to Rowlandson's, but Howitt developed a more individual style as his career as a sporting artist progressed. He seems to have had an innate capacity for drawing animals, from commonplace hare and deer to exotic species that he studied in menageries. He was an animated draughtsman, and his drawings of hunts and sporting events have a fluidity and excitement fitting to the subject" (ibid.). The author, Captain Thomas Williamson, was a multi-faceted soldier who served for 20 years with the Bengal army. Peremptorily dismissed from the service after voicing his opinion on British military policy in a newspaper article, he was forced to become, in the words of one historian, a reluctant "hack polymath" (Edwards, p. 674). In the present work he describes his "pig-sticking adventures; shooting tigers from machans [a platform erected in a tree] and elephant back, hunting buffalo, driving hogs, bears and wolves; and shooting peacocks and other game", creating "a benchmark in capturing the sporting bibliophile's imagination" (Czech). The work was issued for subscribers in twenty monthly parts between June 1805 and January 1807. The publisher Edward Orme was, "after Rudolph Ackermann, the most important publisher of illustrated books during the short golden age of the coloured aquatint" (ODNB); and for this enterprise he employed the services of the finest London printer of the day, William Bulmer. While bridling at the published price of twenty guineas - "a trifle in a Nabob's pocket: but Nabobs are not numerous in England" - the reviewer in the Monthly Review commented that "much entertainment for the eye, and much information for the mind, will be found in this splendid volume". He closes by observing that the plates, "handsomely framed" would "make an appropriate decoration of an apartment fitted up in the Asiatic style"; and thereby giving some indication of the destiny, even from an early date, of many copies of this superb book - to be broken by print dealers. Provenance: engraved armorial bookplate of Henry C. B. Bowles (1831-1918) by Henry Salt, a noted heraldic engraver. Bowles, of independent means, was JP for Middlesex and last governor of the New River Company; his residence, Myddelton House, a handsome Regency villa near Enfield, is known today for its fine gardens.

They are the living part of our colorful nature and have always fascinated human imaginations and figure abundantly in literature and art and craft. Pakistan has 188 species of mammals, 670 species of birds, 185 species of reptiles, and 22 species of amphibians. In this study, biology and behavior of Nilgai, Chinkara, Hog Deer, Blackbuck and Chital was studied at the Safari Park and Karachi Zoo. It was observed that captive animals develop different kind of behaviour depending upon the environment provided. Safari Parks and Zoos have a capability to become centers for animal behavior. The research techniques and information are helpful for graduate and research students of wildlife, National Parks managers, wildlife biologists, wildlife conservation organizations etc.
