Donald Ker and Sydney Downey were the professional hunters he employed. Carpenter worked for DuPont, helping develop fabrikoid, an artificial leather, which is perhaps the binding choice here. This copy is in near fine, collectible condition, bearing an uncommon signed presentation to a friend on the verso of frontispiece.
