Cassel, Theodor Fischer, 1894. Folio (39.5 x 29.3 cm). Title page, [iii], 56 pp.; 60 chromolithographed plates. Contemporary quarter burgundy linen over marbled boards. Spine with gilt title.

A magnificently illustrated work. All the illustrations are after original drawings by the author, the German ornithologist and forester Oskar von Riesenthal (1830-1898) (see Anker). Two plates deal with falconry - showing birds and equipment. This is the second, updated edition; the first was published in 1878 and included an octavo text volume which is much more common. Inner hinges reinforced; some thumbing in the lower outer margin of the first few text leaves and first plate, otherwise a very good, clean copy. Anker, pp. 184-185 (first edition); Nissen IVB, 782. Not in Zimmer.
