About This Item
1801 HUNTING & FISHING 1ed Rural Sports Illustrated Horses DOGS Falconry 3v SET
William Daniel's "Rural Sports" is an early 19th-century history of outdoor sports and activities in England. Sports and games such as hunting and fishing have long been a staple pastime all over the world, and naturally countless books have been written and published on the matter. However, Daniel's 'Rural Sports' is one of the best much in part to the exquisite, full-page engravings throughout! As expected of such a work, this book contains descriptions of fishing and fishing tackle, horse riding, game hunting, falconry, hunting dogs, and much more!
