Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. 1st edition hardcover in dark green cloth covered boards showing bumped spine ends and sharp tips. Tidy former owner's name on fep. 336pp text is crisp and unmarked with one now unfolded dog ear. Price clipped dj is complete with a touch of wavyness to head of both panels, now in new mylar and displays beautifully with color, wrap-around hunt scene on an overcast autumn day after Heywood Hardy entitled Detail from a Lawn Meet at Aske. Captain Marshall was born near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire towards the end of the heyday of the sporting print, when hunting boxes in the county or villas in the Georgian streets of Melton were competed for each season by the world's richest men and women. Growing on his father's farm, where cattle and sheep ran a poor second to horses, young Marshall became through instinct and circumstance first a cavalryman and then a horse-coper. A polished horseman, sensitive, percipient, he could buy what he called 'dogs' and turn them into millionaires' conveyances, or at least decent hunters. Despite the increasing problems of such a trade, he continued it, and lived off it, now well, now frugally, for sixty years. Here he tells the story of his long life, of the horses and the men and women in it, to his friend, neighbor (and Editor in this case) in Dorset, George Millar. With its humor and lighthearted acceptance of life, this narrative must be of absorbing interest both to the foxhunter and to the uninitiated. Nº de ref. del artículo: 47587
