Falconry in the Valley of the Indus.

BURTON, (Richard F.)

First edition. 4 tinted lithograph plates. 8vo. Twentieth-century three quarter morocco. xvi, 107, [1]pp. London, 1852


Burton, who had first learnt the art of falconry in France as a youth, was able to take up the sport once again during his time in the Sind in 1845/1846.

Only 500 copies of this title were printed. However, although still available as late as 1910, Burton was given the satisfaction during his lifetime of seeing this title command a higher price in second-hand catalogues than in the publisher's listing.

Penzer, p41.

 Date: 1852
