Thoughts on Hunting
The first edition of this book was published in 1781 and to this day the book remains a standard work on the subject. Peter Beckford's classic was the first serious attempt to lay down the principles and methods of foxhunting and there has been nothing published to rival it since. The book is technical in content yet a delight to read, even for those who know nothing of the subject matter. This edition is reprinted from the second edition with an introduction and notes by J. Otho Paget. It has eight halftone plates and eight illustrations by G.H. Jalland plus a foreword by Michael Clayton, editor of Horse and Hound. Meer info€ 25,65 -
Die Schleppjagd
Der modernen Schleppjagd, der Jagd zu Pferde hinter einer Hundemeute, die einer künstlich gelegten Fährte folgt, ist dieses umfassende Buch gewidmet. Wilhelm König beschreibt eindrucksvoll die Entwicklung der heutigen Schleppjagd aus der im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert in Frankreich beliebten Parforcejagd. Ausführlich schildert er die bis 1945 existierenden und die nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in Deutschland begründeten Meuten. Auch auf die Entstehung, Zucht und Haltung der für die Schleppjagd typischen Hunderassen sowie deren besondere Fähigkeiten und Eigenheiten geht der Autor ein und gibt Hinweise zur speziellen Ausbildung der Hunde und zu den Jagdpferden. Wilhelm König, der selbst Teilnehmer in vielen Jagdfeldern, Pikör, „Master of Hounds“ und Begründer einiger Meuten war, erzählt kenntnisreich von den Sitten, Gebräuchen, Begriffen und Regeln dieser besonderen Form der Jagd zu Pferd. Zahlreiche amüsante Anekdoten und Erlebnisberichte über die praktische Durchführung solcher Jagden bereichern dieses detailliert recherchierte Werk. Historische und aktuelle Abbildungen sowie ein Literaturverzeichnis vervollständigen das Buch. Meer info€ 27,25 -
