Local Description

Frontispiece and coloured plates. Early half calf with decorated spine, sunned, by Sangorski & Sutcliff. Minor wear on joints. A fine complete and handsome copy.

Description

Gamonia was intended as a guide or handbook on the maintenance of a hunting preserve, or how best to set up farmland or woodland so as to optimize hunting or shooting potential. Written in a comparatively breezy or conversational style, its words of advice are still appreciated and read -- it remains a valuable reference, a classic on the subject. But without question the work is treasured above all else for its wonderful plates depicting sportsmen of the Regency Era -- plates much reproduced, framed and emulated.
