Smith, A. Croxton. Sporting Dogs. First Edition. 1938. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition—pages show light foxing, and jacket shows minor tears and light soiling. Plates by G. Vernon Stokes. Introduction by Her Grace, the Duchess of Newcastle.
This thick and beautiful book of text and engravings celebrates and studies English sporting dogs in all of their varieties. The book is organized mostly by breed but in other instances by the type of hunting in which a particular species of dog excels. Among the breeds profiled and pictured are beagles, basset hounds, greyhounds, bloodhounds, retrievers, spaniels, and setters. There are later editions of this title, but only this first is of the high quality associated with early 20th Century publishing.Â
