Sobre este artículo
London: Gurney and Jackson,, 1921. A superb book; one to revel in. First edition, first impression; an exceptional copy of this handsome work, "the first natural history book about this area" and typical of the man: "fluently written
discursive and anecdotal
display[ing] his wide general knowledge and competence with sketchbook and camera" (ODNB.) It was described in the journal African Affairs as "a superb book; one to revel in". "Chapman recounts his journey to Khartoum, then up the White Nile into Uganda. He hunted gazelle in the arid regions of the Sudan, then stalked tiang, hartebeest and roan near the Sobat River. As he continued up the White Nile, he bagged waterbuck, kob and lechwe. There are exciting encounters with buffalo, hippopotamus and elephant, the latter near the Zeraf River. Additional hunting for rhinoceros and eland took place near the Blue Nile and Dinder Rivers" (Czech). Octavo. Original green combed cloth, gilt-lettered spine, large solid block of a wart-hog boar to front cover, and an outline of a Cape Buffalo to back, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Map frontispiece and 29 other plates, numerous illustrations to the text. The merest crumpling at spine ends and suggestion of rubbing to corners. A superior copy, bright, sharp and square. Czech p. 60. African Affairs, Vol. LXXXV, October 1922.
