Description

Journal des Chasseurs. Revue littéraire. Paris, Journal des Chasseurs, 1836-1864. 37 vol. in-8, 309 plates, 17 color plates, 2 maps, one folded (vol. 25). Red half-chagrin, spine ribbed (contemporary binding). Mottling on some volumes, foxing, small black mark on spine of volume 10. Ex-libris Olivier de Seguin. Head of the collection of the most important periodical devoted to hunting. Founder of the Revue, Léon Bertrand ran it until 1861. The periodicity is monthly, then bi-monthly. The best hunting writers of the day took part: Léon Bertrand, Joseph La Vallée, the Marquis de Foudras, d'Houdetot, Deyeux, Toussenel... The magazine ended in 1870. "Le Journal des Chasseurs remains the most important hunting magazine ever published in France, and has rightly been called Le Livre d'Or de la Vénérie française. Complete collections were already rare in 1885 when Souhart published his Bibliographie; they are much rarer today" (Thiébaud). Illustrated with lithographs, the Revue is a formidable iconographic source. Of particular note are the famous lithographs by Traviès and the 17 colored plates, which are rarely found. Thiébaud notes that copies with colored plates are extremely rare (Thiébaud, 523). A good copy, despite the noted defects.
