Big Game Shooting In Africa – Major H. C. Maydon

R875,00

First Edition from 1932 with dust-jacket intact.

Volume XIV of The Lonsdale Library

In good condition considering its age. Has recently gone on auction and was sold for over R1000-00 on Antiquarian Auctions. Considered a classic piece of Africana literature from its time.

Dust jacket has slight creases and “imperfections”.  Selotape marks are present on the inside of the front and back covers. There is what appears to be a librarian’s notes regarding dates on the title page (although I am subject to correction on this point). The inserted photos between pages 186 / 187 & 306 / 307 have come loose.

Description

Big Game Shooting in Africa by Major H. C. Maydon is a classic guide for hunters and adventurers venturing into the African wilderness. Packed with practical advice, detailed observations, and firsthand experiences, the book covers the strategies, equipment, and techniques needed for successful big-game hunting. Maydon draws on his extensive knowledge to provide readers with insights into the behaviour of Africa’s most formidable animals, from lions and elephants to dangerous game rarely encountered by outsiders.

This influential work has guided generations of hunters, with authors like James Mellon citing it as an essential companion for planning African expeditions. Beyond just practical guidance, the book captures the spirit of adventure and the challenges of navigating Africa’s vast and varied landscapes.

Big Game Shooting in Africa is ideal for hunting enthusiasts, wildlife historians, or anyone fascinated by Africa’s legendary hunting traditions.
