They are printed in green-brown-red-blue tints and depict (1) The campsite; (2) The hunter and his guide in thick cover aiming at a tiger at close range; (3) The hunter holding his rifle watching the dogs flush out a wild boar; and, (4) Two groups of hunters and their guides, one group carrying a recently killed deer.An interesting (truncated) combination of exotic letterpress text and color lithography. Undoubtedly uncommon.  FOUR DOUBLE-PAGE COLOR LITHOGRAPHS OF HUNTING (Inventory #: 575.1884)
