1908 · London
by Herbert, Agnes
London: John Lane, The Bodley Head, 1908. First printing. Very good plus.. First edition of this illustrated narrative of the English author's shooting trip with her cousin - both a compelling memoir of two single Edwardian women traveling alone and a morbidly fascinating record of the killing done by an unreconstructed trophy hunter. 8'' x 5.25''. Original red cloth with gilt-lettered spine. Illustrated with 25 black and white photographs. 306, [18] pages. Boards with light soil, bumping to corners, sunning to spine. Text with moderate foxing throughout.
