Hunting - GIRAUDIERE'S CHAVINS (H. de). Hunting... Lot 5

[Hunting - GIRAUDIERE'S CHAVINS (H. de)]. Hunting stories and anecdotes. Tours, Mame et Cie, 1853. In-8 cardboard box illustrated with a hunting scene in color. 8 nice colour off-text lithographs by V. Adam representing hunting scenes from all over the world. The cardboard is a bit faded, caps, bits and corners rubbed, some freckles. "This small volume, intended for youth, is especially sought after for its illustration, although the text is far from being uninteresting. It is most often found in its publisher's cardboard, canvas or paper; the decoration is not always the same. The ex. with cardboard decorated with hunting subjects are naturally the most sought-after." Thiébaud, 190.
