Description

1883 HUNTING Rifle & Hound Ceylon Africa Elephants Baker Sri Lanka Illustrated

Samuel White Baker was a 19th-century English big game hunter who was notable for publishing narratives of his African expeditions. Many of Baker’s works shed light on the horrors of slave owners and slave trade in central Africa. However, he also composed works dedicated to controversial topics including ‘The Rifle and the Hound in Ceylon’.

This work describes hunting in Sri Lanka, elephants, deer, and elk in the jungles of the African island, along with dangerous encounters of crocodile attacks, and the horrors of a raging elephant! A rare 1883 edition with fine illustrations bound in a decorative cloth binding.
