FIRST FRENCH EDITION, PUBLISHED THE SAME YEAR AS THE HUNGARIAN ONE, OF THIS MAGNIFICENT HUNTING COLOUR PLATE BOOK.

It was translated into French by J.B. Durringer and F.A. Schwiedland, 
 
This beautiful edition is illustrated with 13 plates (including the author's portrait) detailing a good number of leisure activities practiced at the time by Hungarian nobles, and in which hunting is largely represented. The hunting iconography is complemented by 12 coloured lithographed vignettes in the text. The plates are lithographed by Arnz & Company, Eugène Charles Francois Guérard, Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot and others, after various Hungarian artists.

"A magnificent book which illustrates every form of sport as practised by the Hungarian nobility in this unrivalled corner of pre-war Europe" (Schwerdt).

Scattered foxing, otherwise a very fine copy.
