Hardcover. Condizione: Good. R.A. Sterndale, F.R.G.S., F.Z.S. (illustratore). 2nd Edition. First published in the late nineteenth century, A Naturalist on the Prowl or In the Jungle is a lively account of wildlife observation and sporting adventure in colonial India. Written by Edward Hamilton Aiken, better known by the initials EHA, the book reflects the author's keen eye for natural history as well as his engaging style as a journalist and commentator on Anglo-Indian life. Richly illustrated by the noted artist and naturalist R. A. Sterndale, the work combines anecdote, field observation and humour in a series of vivid sketches of animals, hunting encounters and jungle life. It remains an appealing example of Victorian natural history writing, blending scientific curiosity with the adventurous spirit of the period.
