Item description from seller

8vo. VII, 268 pp. With 11 full-page black and white plates and 42 numbered black and white illustrations in text. Including errata-slip tipped-in at end. Original gilt green cloth. The second and best edition of Harting's manual on the management of hawks and a historical and descriptive explanation on practical falconry. For this edition, the author not merely revised the original text, but made considerable additions to it, as well as to the illustrations. Plates and illustrations include a hooded falcon on block, heron hawking, kite hawking with jerfalcons, the falconer's knot, a falcon in flight, etc. The first edition of this work appeared in 1884 with the same publisher. "Not recommended for the beginner [.] Much interesting material collected from various sources, particularly the instructions for hawk catching" (Barber). - Binding rubbed, spine-ends chipped; first and last leaves slightly foxed and the usual browning, pasted bookplate and manuscript entry on blank recto of the frontispiece. Good copy of this manual on practical falconry and the management of hawks. - Barber 7. OCLC 23929448. Cf. Harting 80 (first edition). Schwerdt I, 233 (first edition).

Store description

We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare Österreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V. (German association of antiquarian booksellers), we are bound by these organizations' code of ethics. A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor Léon (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.
