Champion, F.W.

With A Camera in Tiger-Land

Size: 26 x 19 cm (10.3 x 7.5 inches)

First edition
Published by: Chatto & Windus. Third impression, large 8vo., pp 228+xviii, 83 illustrations. Lavishly produced quarto volume with 73 full-page photographic plates. Very good indeed. The author who was a Forest Service officer in India, who used a camera not a gun, claims this to be the first published book of photographs of living animals in the wild in India. "I believe this to be the first book ever published which is illustrated throughout with photographs of wild animals, just as they live their every-day lives in the great Indian jungles". [I have] "tried to produce a book which may appeal to the non-scientific reader, without in any way departing from the strictest scientific accuracy. The first three chapters have been written with the idea of creating the atmosphere of the jungle, and the remainder of the book is devoted to a detailed discussion of its inhabitants" - Introduction. Later half leather binding. Good condition
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman
