192059983London: 64 St. James’s St. Pall Mall Printed by George Pulman & Sons Ltd. 1920. Oblong 8vo. 8.5 x 5.5 in. 20 pp. With several colour-tinted plates of shotguns & rifles. Light-gray printed softcovers cover art lettering & borders in green Fine copy w/ printed price list on lightly tinted laid “ClassicFold†paper w/ watermark 1 price changed from £10 to £5. First edition of this exceedingly scarce Jazz Age gun and shotgun catalogue issued by prestigious firm of James Woodward & Sons considered by many as having built the finest guns of all time. The price list included with these superbly manufactured guns ranged from base Hammerless Ejector Single-Barrel Special Trap Guns at £100 $ 15000 in 2023 to £150 $ 25000 in 2023 Hammerless 12-20 gauge “Under and Over†Ejector Double Guns which could also be fitted with 22-ct. gold plates in the stock and engraved and additional silver anti-recoil pad. The catalogue also makes special note of the growing interest of women in sport shooting by offering a special “Ladies’ Gun†a 16-bore “Under and Over†ideally suited with less recoil. The Woodward “Over & Under†gun is still considered one of the best ever developed and was later adopted by Purdey when they acquired Woodward & Sons in 1948. Although James Woodward originally apprenticed to the trade with Charles Moore around 1827 and eventually established the firm at 64 St. James’s St. Pall Mall in 1844 the firm continually claimed in their trade literature advertising and promotions that they had been founded originally in 1800 possibly referring to the business Charles Moore himself had purchased around 1800. Although difficult to date accurately as the catalogues were infrequent and intended for a select clientele with last specific date of 1918 internally here the firm did move the business later to 29 Bury St. in 1937.

183589496London: Rudolph Ackermann 1835. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's original pebble grain deep brown cloth titled and embellished in gilt to front board. iv; 2; 110pp. Tight clean and strong a little bumping and scuffing to extremities light sunning to spine very handsome; internally clean and fresh brown endpapers with armorial bookplate to front pastedown tipped into the prelims actually affixed to the rear of the frontis by a stub is an addressed postal paper probably the front of an envelope bearing Mytton's signature an 1820 Shrewsbury postal frank and the address of Mrs. Lethbridge the married name of Mytton's sister; the 12 hand colored plates by Alken are spectacularly bright and striking tissue guards are present. An outstandingly clean and attractive copy if it is possible for a book that has made its way from 1835 to be described as "near fine" then this fits the bill. <br /> <br /> The book in the hand is quite a slight volume but is housed in one of the most luxurious book boxes we have encountered; a deep red levant morocco case by Sangorski with a push button clasp a rather decadent cushioned velvet lining and a drop front for ease of opening. The book itself has a tailor made red cloth and board chemise. <br /> Also present in the case are old catalog entries for the book one of which is on a Bernard Quaritch letterhead and a three page typed analysis of the title in all its editions and permutations by Ernest R. Gee one of the most legendary New York dealers in sporting and hunting books. Quaritch's pencil notes to the front flyleaf state: "Very rare in original condition. Extremely fine and perfect copy" which for them is the equivalent of throwing a parade. The bookplate is that of noted collector of fine books E. Hubert Litchfield whose legendary library was auctioned off in 1951 like so many post-war libraries from country seats of extinguished gentry. <br /> <br /> John "Mad Jack" Mytton himself was probably the epitome of the early 19th century fearless noble rake. Frequently in his own lifetime compared to that other luminous doomed libertine Lord John Rochester; Mytton was an alcoholic he took 2000 bottles of port with him to college a gambler by the standards of the time a womaniser and as Rifleman Harris would say; "A courtier to my Lord Bacchus and an unremitting debtor." <br /> Regardless of his belief that moral highground was just something to gallop one's hounds over during his lifetime Mytton was very much loved by his friends associates and servants. <br /> A mad eccentric whose life can best be described as a series of enthusiastically botched suicide attempts he was also generous to a fault utterly without fear completely at home in his own lunacy kind thoughtful creative and very much a product of his time. When he wasn't dressing as a highwayman to terrify rural clergy or hunting wildfowl in winter at night on ice.naked he was riding a bear into dinner parties accidentally setting himself on fire to cure hiccups and dressing up as a tramp to test the charity of his own estate staff he ended up fist fighting his own under butler when they failed to be forthcoming. <br /> He was dead by 38 riddled with alcoholism and compounded injury and just like with Rochester his light went down entangled with the dark. Accounts vary but something like 3500 people including his tenants and servants attended his funeral including a beautiful young woman named Susan whom Mytton had met on Westminster Bridge in 1831 and promptly offered a salary of 500 pounds a year to be his companion; she stayed with him until his death. A rare book lavishly preserved commemorating a type of man that for better or worse no longer exists. Rudolph Ackermann unknown
193889537New York: The Derrydale Press 1938. Limited Edition. Octavo. 24cm. #198 of 950 copies. Publisher's jute half binding over maroon cloth covered boards with a leather and gilt title label and decoration in gilt to front board. Glassine dustjacket. 198pp. Bright strong and tight very light wear; internally clean and fresh illustrated throughout. A very good clean copy.<br /> <br /> An entertaining memoir illustrated with numerous photographs recounting anecdotal memoirs of Russell Annabel for a long time held up as the pre-eminent field and game guide in Alaska territories.

184889498London: Richard Bentley 1848. First Edition. Two Volumes. Octavo. 20cm. Publisher's original bottle green embossed cloth titled in gilt to spines. viii; 344pp.; vii; 343pp. Tight and clean softening and bumping to corners and with bumping and light fraying to the spine ends of both volumes a couple of tiny chips to the cloth; internally clean and fresh coated yellow endpapers offsetting to p.50-51 in Vol I due to a laid in newspaper clipping celebrating Forester's work inner joint in Vol II just starting otherwise a very solid pair. A very good clean set. <br /> <br /> Henry Herbert was a rather tragic figure seemingly continually falling short of his own expectations of himself and who only seemed to find any sort of steady personal voice in his works under the Forester pseudonym discussing the finer arts of shooting fishing and woodland stalking. A sort of wandering genetic remnant of several aristocratic British bloodlines but frequently financially wobbly and unable to get a steady footing Herbert seems to have alienated most people in his circle at one time or another and eventually shot himself in a full length mirror after having thrown a party to which many were invited but none attended. <br /> Although his output included a slew of adventure novels and various other literary exploits he is chiefly remembered for his wistful keenly observed and evocative accounts of woodland sporting activities. Richard Bentley unknown
185789486Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson 1857. First Thus. Two Volumes. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's embossed brown cloth titled and decorated in gilt to spines. Light bumping and scuffing to corners light bumping to spine ends a little discoloration to the cloth in places strong pretty and tight; internally clean and fresh coated yellow endpapers two armorial bookplates to Vol. I with only one of them reappearing in Vol. II that of Charles Fry whose ink ownership also appears on the flyleaves illustrated throughout ostensibly by Darley but in actual fact most of the illustrations are by Herbert himself. A very good set indeed. <br /> <br /> An odd little object in the American sporting genre; produced entirely without permission by Peterson in fact actively against Herbert's wishes this collection gathers "My Shooting Box" "The Deerstalkers" "The Warwick Woodlands" and "The Quorndon Hunt" sort of a greatest hits of Frank Forester. The titles are bound with separate title pages for each work and general title pages for the collection all of which have either different or inaccurate dates of publication a trick dreamed up by Peterson to muddy the waters of his piracy; not only did he create this distinct work out of four others but he later separated the works once more and issued them under his own imprint in brightly decorated paper wraps. To 'non-book' people this will sound relatively run of the mill but bibliographers and publishing scholars encountering this information might feel the need to pause for a moment in recognition of The Audacity.<br /> Nevertheless they are tidy nicely produced little volumes on decent paper and probably served to somewhat revitalize Herbert's fortunes in America as they were subsequently reprinted as late as 1881 and beyond. Scarce in such nice condition. T.B. Peterson unknown

Bound in dark blue half calf over marbled boards by Whitman Bennett unsigned but laid in is an als from Bennett discussing the process and apologising for being absent because his son also a binder had just enlisted; which places the binding job somewhere in the early to mid-1940's titled and decorated in gilt to spine. 198pp. A little light wear to the edges and a couple of small scrapes to the fore-edge tight bright and handsome; internally clean marbled endpapers edges speckled brown a little scattered pale foxing in parts mainly towards the front of the book. A very good and extremely handsome copy.<br /> <br /> Originally issued in wraps copies of which are legendarily scarce something Bennett alludes to in his letter and rather scurrilously reprinted without permission by Peterson of Phildalphia nice copies in any binding are thin on the ground. Carey and Hart unknown

185289485Philadelphia: Getz Buck & Co 1852. First American Edition. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's original dark blue ripple grain cloth titled in gilt to spine with blind ruling to boards this edition can also be seen in red cloth. 173pp.; 4pp. ads. Bumping to extremities with some light scuffing to the lower corners and some softening and fraying at the head and tail strong tight and pretty; internally clean and fresh a triangle of dampstaining to the prelims that fades out before the title page four woodcuts by the author including frontis. some pale cosmetic foxing in places something this book is prone to and the first gathering is perhaps a little proud. A very good copy with some mild cosmetic wear of a scarce and highly collectable title. <br /> <br /> A tale of English sporting life of the early 19th century recounting the adventures of a visiting American sampling the madcap pleasures of foxhunting with The Quorn one of the oldest and most respected "Hunts" essentially a hunting club for the local gentry with each region having their own variations territories and indeed techniques. The Quorn was one of the first Hunts to introduce a system of hunting techniques under Hugo Meynell from the 1750's until his death around 1800 by which time the techniques skills and training styles he had introduced had spread and been developed upon by all the subsequent rural Hunts that appeared like the Tiverton or Beaufort. This form of hunting was quite obviously a pursuit of the gentry something that Surtees later "Jorrocks" character highlighted satirically; recounting the adventures and misadventures of a bluff wealthy cockney grocer pursuing the pastimes of the seated and landed nobility. A scarce book. Getz, Buck & Co unknown

Dustjacket. 551pp. Strong and bright very light wear; internally clean save for a very light marginal waterstain affecting 20-30 pages in the first half of the text it's mostly barely visible but it is there clipped article on American Harness Racing laid in; in a clean strong example of the dustjacket with some staining it seems likely that the jacket has been stored separately at some point as there are creases and fold marks to the front and rear panel. A good strong copy with some wear and staining. <br /> <br /> An intensely detailed history of the American Standard Horse interestingly the only breed of horse that owes its breeding development and characteristics entirely to the United States. Coward-McCann Inc unknown

Norris was one of the first sporting author's to develop techniques specifically for American waters realising that traditional European methods had been developed for a completely different ecological environment. He was also the developer and designer of new fly-fishing technologies and pioneered the development and adoption of the split bamboo fishing rod. Scarce thus. E.H. Butler and Co unknown

Considered one of the more unusual and desirable Derrydale Press sporting books with its rather idiosyncratic binding choice. The Derrydale Press unknown
