THE BADMINTON LIBRARY OF SPORTS AND PASTIMES – BIG GAME
SHOOTING – Duke of Beaufort, ed. Hardcover. 1894, Longmans, Green, & Co.
(London, UK). Vol. 1: 453 pages. Vol. 2: 443 pages.
Both Volumes 1 & 2 about big game shooting at the end of
the 19th C. Includes sections covering the Arctic to the
Caucuses to Spain along with chapters on taxidermy, staffing, and practicalities
of transport while on hunts. Game included goes from from polar bears to ibex to
