Lot 1148 | Oriental Field Sports: Being a Complete, Detailed, and Accurate Description of the Wild Sports of the East.
London: W. Bulmer for E. Orme, 1807

Plates from "The most beautiful book on Indian sport in existence" (Schwerdt).“The printing process of the frontispiece and part wrappers, which show a tiger lying on a rock, seems remarkable and gives a brilliant effect when in fresh condition. The printing appears to be in oil colour, and in places it has chipped or flaked off … the process might possibly have been a stencil one, and the effect is similar to modern silk screen work” (Abbey). Abbey Travel 427; Schwerdt II, 297; Tooley 508.

Oblong folio (450 x 565mm). Color printed frontispiece and 22 plates only (of 40). Disbound. Sold as a collection of plates.
