Short-Horn Cattle: a series of historical sketches, memoirs and records of the breed and its development in the United States and Canada by Sanders, Alvin H - 1901

Chicago: Sanders Publishing Company, 1901. Second Edition. Hardcover. Fair. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy. But for the detached (but present, laid inside the front flap) backstrip, a very sturdy, still tightly bound copy indeed. Burgundy cloth over boards, probably a new binding, tips and spine backed with black leather, and with gilt lettered cover and spine. Marbled page edges, quite lovely, with decorated endpapers, and a large number of beautiful black-and-white photographs and illustrations. Fascinating record that tracks the origins and development of the short-horned cow and steer, from England to the U.S. to Australia. Fine account by the American editor, agriculturalist, and cattle breeder. 902 pp. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
