SCHWERDT, C.F.G.R. (1862-1939). Hunting Hawking Shooting illustrated in a Catalogue of Books Manuscripts Prints and Drawings collected by C.F.G.R. Schwerdt. London: privately printed for the author, 1928-1937. 4 volumes extended to 10 by the inclusion of all states of the plates, 4° (323mm x 260mm). Engraved vignette on title and approximately 524 plates with over 1390 illustrations, a small number chromolithographic, many others mounted colour collotypes. Red morocco gilt by Kelly and Sons, top edge gilt, others uncut, original red cloth slipcases (a few very minor blemishes). Provenance: SCHWERDT COPY with his gilt arms at base of spines.
