"Established in 1892 in London, Rowland Ward's Records of Big Game is the oldest record-book series in the world and this new edition is its best ever!" "Many significant historical photos and a great deal of measurement data were unearthed, all of which have been featured in the new edition." "In order to create an 'entirely new' record book, this one on African game animals, . we have included photos of the highest scoring heads, based upon a strict policy of ethics and aesthetics; we have made the book 'user friendly' by completely reorganizing the layout of the book according to traditional methods used by naturalists and hunters as well as by biological kinship; we have created . 83 new maps featuring over 200. African game animals that illustrate accurate, current game distributions in great detail and full color; and, finally, we have completely reshaped the table of contents and index to make the search for a specific species easy." "In addition to our internally scanned and paper records, this edition also contains information from two significant private archives [which include] old albums, measurements, articles, photos, notes and ledgers by James Rowland Ward, and notes from Richard Lydekker, the most eminent biologist of the Victorian era." "In all, the archives yielded over 325 images, making this edition the best illustrated ever. Some other photos never seen before include the world-record northern white rhino; the Nos. 1 and 3 southern white rhinos; Frederik Selous's southern white rhino; the Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 5 black rhinos; 5 of the top-twenty elephants, including the world record; 5 of the 15 largest mountain nyalas ever recorded; 2 top-ten leopards; 2 top-ten lions; and 4 top-fifteen Cape buffaloes. (Look for our new ranking method for the three larger buffalo varieties in Africa - Cape, Nile, and Central African; we now add the sum of the two bosses and the spread.)" "The Africa volume of Rowland Ward's Records of Big Game now lists in excess of 40,000 records dating back to 1840.This new edition also includes 14 new world records in these categories: zebra duiker, Damara dik-dik, Bates pygmy antelope, Harar dik-dik, common nyala, common waterbuck, Cape eland, Shoan bushbuck, blue wildebeest, island sitatunga, water chevrotain, brown hyena, mountain nyala, and southern impala. In addition there is a new No. 3 Nile buffalo as well as dozens of new top-ten heads." "You'll find several new elephant entries with tusks in excess of 130 pounds per side, and, while these were not shot in recent times, they had never previously been recorded. Also newly recorded is a lesser kudu of more than 33 inches that was shot in Tanzania. Of great interest to hunters will be our recovery of long lost photos of very large heads from the past: four elephants with tusks of over 150 pounds per side; a mountain nyala with 44-plus-inch horns; and James C. Rous's much-debated greater kudu. This kudu was shot in 1916 but photographed, with the hunter and the mounted head, amazingly only after World War II." .

Colour photographs, b/w illustrations, maps. Red cloth, upper board and spine titled in gilt. Issued without a dust-wrapper. Edition limited to 1500 copies. A fine un-numbered copy from an edition of 1500. This 29th edition was compiled by Tammy Pereira and edited by Jane Halse. "Rowland Ward's Records of Big Game is known worldwide as the original Record Book. It was first published in 1892, and quickly became the standard among sportsmen and naturalists. It contains detailed descriptions of the various game species and their distributions, habitats, and sizes; it also contains the measurements of the finest specimens taken since the early 18th century, such as the number 1 and 2 elephants with tusks of 226 and 214 lbs. and 198 and 174 lbs., respectively. There are approximately 45,000 records in this Africa volume, many with illustrations of skulls and horns and photos of actual specimens. This new 29th edition contains Rowland Ward's new measuring methods, which are significantly different from those of the past. Trophies will still be ranked by the largest horn or spread, but a new composite measurement will be listed with each entry. The composite record will help give a better picture of the animal's score vis a vis other systems and also will give a much better idea of the trophy's overall dimensions. This edition contains the African species only." This is an out-of-series copy of the cloth-bound edition that states a limitation of only 1500 numbered copies. PREVIOUS PRICE £100.00.
