The dust jacket has two tears (1 cm each) along the lower edge and additional edge and corner wear throughout. The deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with 22 photos in black and white. A rather rare book. Part of a larger series of reprinted African hunting books from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The publishers included a disclaimer about their use of the original language and attitudes, much of which may be offensive by today's standards (see photo #5).
