A propos de cet article

2000 Long Beach, 1st edn, 165pp, drawings, deluxe Edition of 350 numbered and signed copies. Hunting the Big Five, published by Safari Press in 2000, is an outstanding handmade, letterpress book, issued in a unique, limited edition of 376 copies, never to be printed again. The Full Leather Edition was limited to 26 copies, A-Z, each one housed in a linen clamshell box. The Deluxe Edition, described below, was limited to 350 numbered copies with a slipcase. This extraordinary book contains the hunting narratives of world-renowned African professional hunter Robin Hurt on each of the African Big Five: the elephant, lion, leopard, rhino, and buffalo. Robin Hurt is universally recognized as the preeminent professional hunter in Africa today. His safari company has not only guided more sportsmen to 200-pound leopards than any other, but also has guided clients to outstanding trophies in the most famous game fields of the Dark Continent, including Zaire, the Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia, and more. The illustrator, highly acclaimed wildlife artist Alan James Robinson, has been a designer and illustrator of letterpress books for over twenty years. The books from his award-winning press, Press of the Sea Turtle, have been eagerly sought by collectors the world over. His titles include Birds and Beasts of Shakespeare, A Fowl Alphabet, An Odd Bestiary, Saltwater Grand Slam, and Trout & Bass. These books are in the collections of the Library of Congress, National Library of Australia, New York Public Library, Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Kadama Collection of Shakespearean Literature, Japan. This stunning production contains the stories of Hurt's most famous hunts for some of the finest trophies ever to come from the continent of Africa. We guarantee they will enthrall, unnerve, and fascinate you and make you wish for more. To top it off, the gorgeous illustrations and artwork by Robinson will leave you breathless. Like all works of art, this book is a unique treasure sought the world over, but only a handful of people are able to possess this finely crafted historic monument to the art of the African hunt. Specifications for the Deluxe Edition of Hunting the Big Five: Each book was handmade, typeset by hand and monotype, with hand-printed etchings, wood engravings, and lithographs. The paper, handmade from rags, is 100% acid-free. The books were printed letterpress under the painstaking attention of master printers. Letterpress, the process of printing from letters or type in relief (rather than from intaglio plates or Plano graphically), is the traditional form of printing used in the nineteenth century. Every copperplate etching by Alan James Robinson is hand drawn and printed by hand on fine French art paper. These limited-edition letterpress books are works of art with the look and feel of a tradition long since gone. It was the 32nd book in Safari Press's Classics in African Hunting Series. ? Large format, 11 by 14½ inches, 137pp., signed by author and artist. ? One sepia printed etching of each member of the Big Five. ? One black-and-white wood engraving of each of the Big Five. ? A total of five lithograph maps in full color. ? Twelve additional black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings depicting scenes from the text. ? Three-quarter goat-skin leather binding over blue boards with a map of Africa stamped in 22 karat gold foil leaf on the front board and 22 karat gold foil leaf lettering on the spine. NEW in NEW slipcase, unused condition in original plastic packaging with limitation number written on outside of the bag. IMPOSSIBLE to get in better condition. Extra shipping will be added to the order. …

Description de la boutique

World Wide Hunting Books, from the Publisher of Sports Afield magazine, sells fine antiquarian big-game hunting and exploration & hunting books on Asia, North America, Europe and Africa. World Wide Hunting Books’ stock is mainly antiquarian first editions that are in above-average condition; we have the collector in mind when we buy our books. If you are looking for a rare first edition on elephant hunting or a book on an expedition after wild sheep in Asia that took place over a century ago, you will likely find it in our extensive stock. We have books on tiger, bear, wild sheep, elk, ibex, buffalo, rhino, elephant, and lion hunting. We also have early exploration and hunting accounts from North America, Asia, and Africa. If it is a book on big-game hunting and if it is out of print, it is likely we have handled the book in our thirty-five-plus years of being in this field. We maintain a detailed, proprietary database with seven thousand-plus entries with bibliographical notes that helps us keep track of the thousands of hunting books ever printed. We work with small collectors as well as huge university libraries. We are proud to have helped some of our customers create collections that contain more than one thousand books, but we are equally happy to provide you with that one special book you have always longed for or want to present as a gift. …
