1892 Coursing & Falconry Illustrated Sports HUNTING Britain Badminton Library

 

‘The Badminton Library’ was perhaps the most important 19^th-century encyclopedia published with the intent of providing the English public with reading on sports and leisure, skill improvement, and general knowledge of their favorite pastimes.

 

Harding Cox and Gerald Lascelles published two of the most popular books in the Badminton Library. ‘Coursing and Falconry’ focused on the popularity of the hunt, hunting small game with greyhounds, as well as falcon shooting. This fine, first edition work is illustrated with impressive engravings depicting all aspects of the outdoor adventures.
