Explore the Selous Collection at the Natural History Museum. This precise catalogue presents the big-game trophies collected by Captain I. P. Selous and donated to the museum, offering a window into Africa’s wildlife past and the hunter-naturalist tradition.

The book divides its content into two parts: a large gallery of African specimens, and a smaller section of European, Asian, and North American pieces. It notes that, unless stated otherwise, most items are mounted heads of adult male animals, with horn measurements given in inches. The introduction explains Selous’s years of exploration and the role of the collection in museum displays and sportsmen’s utility.

Learn how many specimens were gathered and where they came from, including South Africa, Rhodesia, and other regions.

See sections by species with notes on appearance, horn shape, and notable features.

Find practical details such as horn measurements and typical localities for reference and comparison.

Understand the historical context of the collection and its display in a major museum setting.

Ideal for readers of natural history, hunting lore, and museum catalogues seeking a clearly organized, historically grounded reference.
