THIÉBAUD (Jean) - Lot 39

THIÉBAUD (Jean) Bibliographie des Ouvrages Français sur la Chasse illustrated with forty facsimiles; on the false title: Supplément aux Maîtres de la Vénerie. Paris, Nourry, Libr. Cynégétique, 1934. 3 volumes large in 8 (with the supplement). Edition of 1050 copies, one of the HC copies on Annam de Rives paper (HC n°2), with the author's signature. Contemporary ½ burgundy chagrin with corners, gilt title on spine, publisher's covers preserved, gilt heads. An indisputable reference work on the subject, but also one of the best bibliographies in existence, thanks to the quality of the files and the precision and reliability of the collations. However, the formats are very imaginative.
