Iberian Partridge Shooting: Renaissance Pleasure in a Revolutionary Age

Descripción

Brown cloth with gilt spine titles and cover decoration of boar's head; 4to; unpaged (approx 45pp); illustrated with half-title page drawing, color map plus 43 color photographs. The story of a very successful partridge hunt in the Ciudad Real and Albacete region of southeastern Spain. The party consisted of 12 Canadian gunners who also bagged woodcock, mallard duck, rabbit, hare and black game. A rather tongue-in-cheek account of their activities and from the preface, " The Hostal was then noted for damp sheets, hot water at 3 a.m., fried eggs cooked the night before in olive oil, the immense stomach of Senor Inepto, and the evil smelling wig of his dreaded Senora." Most uncommon, as the OCLC does not locate a single copy. In fine, collectible condition. N° de ref. del artículo 001884
