Sporting Days: A Book for Visitors and House Parties

43 of 44 thick card sheets (one having been removed). A printed and delightfully illustrated guest book/scrap book, with illustrations of hunting, travel and sporting scenes (including blood sports), and spaces for mounting personal photographs, memories ephemera etc. Bound in strong burlap, printed with titles and colour illustrated scene of huntsmen, horses and hound. Two green spine straps and matching closing straps front and back. Marbled endpapers. Title page printed elegantly in red and black. Small Folio. The burlap covers are a little soiled, gently rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends. Some faint and occasional spotting internally. Several photographs mounted on sheets, with occasional annotations, while many of the sheets have no entries. A truly handsome volume, very reminiscent of English aristocrat country house life in the first years of the 20th century, notable for the fine illustrations by some of the leading illustrators of the era.
