A printed and delightfully illustrated guest book and scrap book, with numerous mounted contemporary photographs of sporting days and equestrian activities. An uncommon work.This 1907 publication consists of forty-seven thick card leaves with printed illustrations from over twenty illustrators, with blank spaces intended to be filled by the photographs of the owner of the work.Thirty-six contemporary photographs are mounted and loosely inserted.Many of these photographs, which offer a fantastic insight into sporting and outdoor pursuits in the early twentieth century, depict horses and dogs, while others included images of motor vehicles and horses and carts.A number of photographs depict large gatherings of foxhounds, preparing for hunts.The printed illustrations include examples from C. E. Brock, Arthur Rackham and Lancelot Speed, with many being the work of Cecil Aldin.Title page removed.A truly wonderful collection of original photographs illustrating England's sporting past. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Light discolouration to back strip head and tail, with handling marks to board heads and tails. Green cloth ties present and in full working order. Front hinge strained, and firmly held. Internally, binding strained throughout, and a touch tender to the centre. Title page removed. Light spotting and handling marks throughout. With thirty-six mounted and loosely inserted original photographs. Very Good.…
