The abundant opportunities for hunting big game and other exotic species meant that many well-known sportsmen made their reputations on the plains and in hills of India, Burma and Ceylon.These two volumes cover hunting in the East, particularly India, at the beginning of the 19th Century. An outstanding feature of the books are the many superb colour illustrations taken from lithographs by the well-known animal artist Samuel Howitt. The text, by the military sportsman Captain Thomas Williamson, is of interest both to natural historians as well as to hunters, containing as it does the natural history and the hunting of the elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, leopard, bear, deer, buffalo, wolf, wild hog, jackal, wild dog, and the civet. The field sports celebrated in these books may have gone out of fashion in our âpolitically correctâ age, but these memoirs and the many coloured plates are an item for the collector to treasure.

Two vols, large 4to, pp.I: xiv, [ii], 306; II: [iv], 239, [1, blank], [12, index], with an additional engraved title-page (oblong) and a total of forty hand-coloured etched plates of animals and hunting scenes (watermarked 1817); slightly toned, text leaves somewhat foxed throughout as always (the plates largely unaffected), ded…ication leaf in vol.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 a 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; SchwerdtII, p.298 (1807 & 1808); Tooley 510.

First edition; landscape folio (46.5 x 58.5 cm); hand-coloured aquatint title, list of plates with hand-coloured aquatint vignette, 20 hand-coloured aquatint plates principally by W.M. Craig, J. Godby, and H. Merke after Howitt, plate captions in English and French, plates 2 and 9 with the printed overslips correcting the captio…n, and plate 2 with the letter 'x' added to 'cheveau' in manuscript, a few small tears to bottom margins of title and plates list, a touch of offsetting, plates clean and bright; contemporary half calf recornered and rebacked with original spine laid down, marbled boards, gilt spine in seven compartments with gilt morocco lettering piece, later endpapers, boards rubbed, preserved in a modern cloth case with gilt calf title label, internally a near-fine copy. 'Very rare. The first and only edition of the finest and most important sporting book of the last two centuries' (Schwerdt). The rarity of this work is owed to the frequency at which copies were broken up for display (Abbey and Schwerdt). Tooley calls it 'a magnificent work, the most valuable English colour plate book on sport'. Although there are fox, stag and hare hunting scenes, the majority of plates depict the shooting of different game birds in deeply rural woods and pastureland. The present copy contains the plates in an early state, printed on sheets watermarked 1804, 1805 or 1806 (Abbey records copies dated as late as 1819). The word 'chevau' in plate 2 has an 'x' added in pencil. Samuel Howitt (1756/7â"1822) was an English painter, illustrator, and etcher of animals, hunting, horse-racing, and landscape scenes. He was closely associated in his art with Thomas Rowlandson, whose sister he married. Howitt's 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 (ODNB). Edward Orme (1775â"1848) was, after Rudolph Ackermann, the most important publisher of illustrated books during the short golden age of the coloured aquatint. Orme's output totalled some 700 illustrations, but his monument is his British Field Sports. Abbey (Scenery), 14; Mellon/Podeschi 86; Schwerdt II, p53; Tooley 273.
