Colour & b/w photographs, illustrations, maps. Slight shelf-wear but a fine new copy. "The development of reservoir fly fishing in England has provided a small number of notable innovators who have changed the way that stillwater anglers fish forever and within that select company must surely be included the name of Tom Ivens. It is impossible to over-emphasize the influence that he had on the development of reservoir fly angling which came as a result of the publication of his classic book, 'Still Water Fly-Fishing.' The ideas he proposed at that time quickly became the benchmark for tackling reservoirs. He invented many new fly patterns, popularized double-haul casting, designed a range of fishing rods, introduced a range of shooting heads, perfected tapered nylon leaders and devised alternative methods of recovering his flies. This present volume is intended to provide an insight into this influential angler and his considerable achievements." .…

Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations, bibliography. Fine new copy. Van Ingen is one of the most famous names in taxidermy, synonymous with very high quality products. Their work, tigers and panthers especially, wasoutstanding and remains a familiar and distinctive sight in auction sales and in museums even today. Their customers included much of the Indian nobility as well as the highest ranks of British society in colonial times:all despite their being based in a small town in southern India. This book attempts to provide a context for their work and an explanation of how it was carried out. It also serves as a record of one of the pinnacles in the history of taxidermy. Their factory employed 150 people at one time, probably the largest taxidermy operation in the world, processing 400 tigers and 600 leopards each year (that's an average of 8 tigers every week!). Their order books confirm these incredible numbers and provide an almost complete record back to the 1890s. Based on three visits to India, and extensive research, this book records the achievements of the van Ingens, describing in detail how they managed to operate on such a scale without getting customer's trophies lost or mixed up, and still maintaining the highest quality output. The entire text of the van Ingen's own book, "The Preservation of Shikar Trophies" is also reproduced. This is a fascinating book in its own right, and is now very scarce. .…
