Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: Big game hunting in the Himalayas and Tibet has a storied history, attracting adventurers and aristocrats in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hunters sought iconic animals like the snow leopard, bharal (blue sheep), and ibex, often using traditional methods that required skill and endurance. The region's challenging terrain and harsh climates added to the allure. Prominent figures, including British officers and explorers, documented their expeditions, contributing to both conservation awareness and local economies. However, this hunting legacy has sparked debates on wildlife preservation, as many species now face threats from habitat loss and poaching. About The Author: Sir Sidney Gerald Burrard (18601943) was a British army officer and Surveyor General of India, notable for his contributions to the Great Trigonometrical Survey, particularly in the Himalayas. Born on the Isle of Wight, he excelled in mathematics and joined the Royal Engineers in 1879. Burrard identified errors in triangulation caused by gravitational effects of mountains. He was appointed KCSI and received the Royal Geographical Society's Victoria Medal. He passed away in 1943. The Title 'Big Game Hunting in the Himalayas and Tibet written/authored/edited by Major G.

No Binding. Zustand: Good. Colour map 88x59cm. Good or better, neatly folded, lightly tanned, foxed in places with pinholes to the corners, light creasing, and archival tape repairs applied along folds to the blank verso. Scale 1/2M or 1.014 inches to 32 miles. Sheet limits: Lat 24-32 North / Long 44-60 East. Issued not long after Fraser Hunter's "Map of Arabia and the Persian Gulf" for the Survey of India, this reflects British India's growing strategic and economic concerns across the region. The Hejaz and Berlin to Baghdad Railways were threatening to open it up to other powers. There was growing realisation of oil potential via the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (1909) and Turkish (later Iraq) Petroleum Company (1912). Persia had a new Majlis following the Persian Constitutional Revolution 1905-11. And Ibn Saud, his position consolidated in Najd, was preparing to take Al Hasa on the Gulf coast. With Baghdad to the NW, this centres on the Persian Gulf, from its head to Khaburah on the Arabian side, and Tank on the Persian side. The former takes in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Al Hasa and the Trucial Sheikhdoms naming all except for Ajman which has labels for Hairah (Al-Hirah) and Hamriyah instead. It covers the interior into Najd as far as Riyadh and the road towards Mecca (SW), and Buraimi Oasis (SE). On the Persian side it covers inland to Kuh-i-Shah (NE). Several areas to the north especially are marked as "unsurveyed" or "unexplored", with "existence doubtful" at Shurgaz Hamun. Features include road and rail of various qualities, telegraph lines, and names for provinces, districts, tribes, and places of archaeological interest. Geographical features distinguish Arabic and Persian terms, labelling hills, ranges, mounds, passes, open plains, bridges, canals, rivers, depressions, salt marshes, inlets, bays, islands, capes, and forts. Relief is shown through contours, hachures and heights. (Ref: Foliard, Dislocating the Orient, University of Chicago, 2017: 180ff).…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Original half cloth binding, [196] pages, photogravure frontispiece (portrait of Pundit Kishen Singh), binding very rubbed, small piece of the front free endpaper missing, frontispiece and title page very foxed, otherwise some foxing on the edges, the textblock itself very good, almost spotless, missing the maps originally included in a pocket at the end. The preface of Burrard`s 1915 publication states: "The reports published in these volumes are not new: they are reprints of former publications. They have been republished in this new form partly because many of the old publications are now out of print and are not obtainable, and partly because the old publications are spread and scattered over numerous annual departmental and other reports and have never before been presented together in one collected whole." This was 1915, this publication is amongst the scarcest Tibet publications. Most of the original reports were published in the Reports of the Survey of India, all of which of the classic Pundit period are practically unobtainable. Contained is i.a.: Account of the Lower Tsang-Po by the Mongolian Lama Serap Gyatsho. Kinthup`s Narrative of a Journey from Darjeeling to Gyala Sindong, Tsari and the Lower Tsang-Po. Narrative Account by Rinzin Mimgyl of his Exploration of the country to the North and North-West of Kinchinjunga. Narrative Account of Rinzin Nimgyl`s Explorations in Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet. Report on a Route Survey by Atma Ram, in company with Captain Bower in Tibet and Western Frontier of China - and several more. Incredible amount of information. Volume 2 only. There is no indication of the printrun in this volume, but the maps which originally accompanied this publication (not present here) were published in an edition of 210 only, some even only with an edition of 200. As the Survey of India used to sell maps also separately, the edition of the text volumes will have been at the most 200 or less. RARE. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1050. …
