Book Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First Limited Numbered Signed Ed. 1st edition Limited, Numbered Signed hardcover in red cloth boards quarter bound in green with sharp tips and spine ends. Burgundy & gilt lettered paper spine label has a one micro chip at the right upper corner. This gift quality book was designed by William A. Kittredge and printed at The Lakeside Press, Chicago. This edition consists of 401 numbered copies, each signed by the author: A. Henry Higgonson M.F.H. This is Number 381. There is no slipcase and it was not issued with a jacket. A hefty and handsome volume of 242 pages printed on heavy gauge, cream colored deckle edged stock with a lovely tissue guarded color frontis by Gordon Ross and twenty black and white photographic plates. The Foreword is by by Henry Goodwin Vaughan, M.F.H. and partially capsulized here: We are invited to 'ride along' and enjoy 37 years of the best of fox hunting reminiscences. Whether the reader is the field thrice weekly or in the armchair by the fire, they cannot help but be impressed by the truth which stands out after a perusal of the pages of this book that they portray the story of a man who "made good"; who, with no previous training or tradition in hunting, by his own application and ability has become our greatest American Master of Hounds and is one of our leading sportsmen, having filled high positions in the sporting world, with benefit to sport and distinction to himself. The words "cast" by the pen of Alex Higginson are like his life and his hounds - they run straight and true, and their "cry" is music to all lovers of the Chase. A must own volume for any serious sporting library, it opens with A Huntsman's Prayer: An easterly wind and a lowering sky, A straight-necked fox, with a scent breast high, I pray for no more, unless a good start At the tail of my hounds on the horse of my heart. By T. Scott Anderson. Signed by Author(s).
