Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Second. Second edition. London: Howlett for Thomas M'Lean, 1819. Oblong broadsheet folio (17 13/16" x 22 7/16", 453mm x 570mm). [Full collation available.] With a pochoir illustrated-title and 40 hand-colored aquatint-engraved plates. Bound in late-XIXc green panelled morocco by Pfister Co. (their ink-stamp to the verso of the front free end-paper). In the corners, a stag, a fox, a lion and an elephant all gilt. On the spine, five raised bands. Title ("WILD/ SPORTS/ OF THE/ EAST") gilt to the second panel, author gilt to the fourth, imprint gilt to the tail. Gilt rolls to the turn-ins. Cream watered-silk end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Sunning to the spine and peripheries. A little rubbing at the hinges, and along the peripheries. Fore-corners bumped. Evenly tanned, with offsetting at the plates.

Thomas George Williamson (ca. 1759-1817) served as an officer in the Bengal army of the British East India Company whose career was cut short for publishing in a newspaper his view of military policy. As such, he occupied a liminal position in British India, which allowed him to make rather more interesting observations than many of his co-evals (e.g., Cornwallis). Oriental field sports, first published in 20 parts in 1807 (reissued in 1808, and, per Tooley, "greatly inferior), is, as the long title suggests, an ambitious work that hazards far-reaching observations about Indian natural history, landscape and culture. Samuel Howitt (1756/7-1822) specialized in the illustration of animals; the pochoir (i.e., stencil-painted) title of a recumbent tiger is an emblem of British books on India. Bibliographers do not generally (Abbey notes the Young imprint) record the present edition, which has come to market with imprints of Orme, Young and McLean as here. The watermarks (seemingly to the text only) date to 1817 and 1818. Frank J. Pfister (ca. 1853-1935) established a book-binding firm in New York in the late XIXc, at times working with Alfred William Launder, the Metropolitan Museum's first bookbinder. Cf. Abbey, Travel 427 (first edn.); Nissen, ZBI 4416 (first edn.); Schwerdt II p. 298 (first edn.), Tooley 508 (first edn.).…

Samuel Howitt (1756/57?1822) was an English painter, illustrator and etcher of animals, hunting, horse-racing and landscape scenes. He worked in both oils and watercolors. Howitt was particularly noted for the illustrations in (Captain) Thomas Williamson's Oriental Field Sports (1807), based on sketches made by the author in India.

Bremner, 1798), Miscellaneous Etchings of Animals (50 plates, 1803); British Field Sports (20 coloured plates, 1807); The Angler's Manual (12 plates, 1808); A New Work of Animals (100 plates, 1811); Groups of Animals (24 plates, 1811); The British Sportsman (70 plates, 1812); Foreign Field Sports (110 plates, 1819)., Size : Folio (340 x 260 mm), A very attractive example, with original gilt binding.
