A very scarce illustrated edition of a work on the scenic countryside of North Wiltshire, containing sixty etches by J.E. Collins. A very scarce illustrated edition of Wild Life in a Southern County, written by prolific nature writer Robert Jefferies. Published by Thomas Nelson and Sons in 1937. No institutional copies of this particular edition are held.In the publisher's original pictorial cloth, in the original unclipped dust wrapper, with the contemporary fly leaves. Contains sixty etched illustrations by G.E. Collins, including a frontispiece, and fourteen illustrated plates. Collated complete.One of the most popular of his works, this particular gem focuses on the beautiful countryside surrounding North Wiltshire, bordering the idyllic Cotswolds. Jeffries himself grew up on a small farm in Swindon, and collaborating with Collins, this makes for a very attractive edition. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth, in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, smart, with the odd small mark and slight fading to the spine and extremities. Small knocks to the head and tail of the spine, and to the extremities. Only fly leaves remain from dust wrapper, which have slight edgewear. Rest of wrapper is replaced with glassine. The small odd spot to end papers. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed.…
