Hills John Waller
A Summer on the Test
London: Philip Allan & Company Quality Court 1924. First edition no. 78 of an edition of 300 copies signed by the author. With 12 original drypoint etchings by Norman Wilkinson printed from the plate and other illustrations in the text. xiii iii 198 1 pp. Printed by Southampton Times Limited. 1 vols. Large 4to. Half burgundy cloth and green gray cloth uncut edges. Spine a bit sunned lower corners slightly bumped else fine. Wilkinson Norman. First edition no. 78 of an edition of 300 copies signed by the author. With 12 original drypoint etchings by Norman Wilkinson printed from the plate and other illustrations in the text. xiii iii 198 1 pp. Printed by Southampton Times Limited. 1 vols. Large 4to. An Angling Classic with Derrydale Associations. A splendid book with Wilkinson's evocative etchings. <br/><br/>Major the Right Honourable John Waller Hills qualified as a solicitor but spent most of his career in Parliament as an MP Privy Councillor and Financial Secretary to the Treasury. In addition to the present volume and books on finance and horse racing he wrote A History of Fly Fishing for Trout 1921 and River Keeper 1934. He died in 1938 just before he was due to receive a Baronetcy; instead this was conferred on his five year old son with the Major's wife being accorded the style and title of a widow of a Baronet. Notes Robb "This is very exceptional if not unique . his merit was equaled by his popularity; he was given the significant and familiar name of "Jack" Hills."<br/><br/>In 1931 Eugene V. Connett proprietor of The Derrydale Press imported some unsold copies of A Summer on the Test for sale to his customers subsequently prompting Frazier to list it in his enumeration of Press titles as "an important and beautiful Derrydale related item". He also notes that in addition to a plain green cloth binding this book "comes in at least one variant binding in cloth which simulates a three-quarter leather binding" as in the copy offered here. <br/><br/>Siegel notes that Connett's copies "were not marked in any manner that would enable one to identify them as being imported for The Derrydale Press".<br/><br/>Not a Derrydale but at least a distant relation and a very nice copy of as Robb puts it "one of those volumes one loves to count among his treasures." Robb Notable Angling Literature p. 130 et seq.; Siegel p. 178; Frazier H-18-a Philip Allan & Company Quality Court unknown books

Hunt Lynn Bogue Hunt Lynn Bogue
A Set of Eight China Dinner Plates with Black and White Wildfowl Designs by Lynn Bogue Hunt with His Explanatory Legends on the Back
n.p. 1940. 1 vols. 10-1/2 inches in diameter. These plates have been used to dine from--there are minute scratches and rubbing here and there and a small chip to the underside of one or two rims--but they are fine overall and ideal for display. Lynn Bogue Hunt. 1 vols. 10-1/2 inches in diameter. Wildfowl China Plates by Lynn Bogue Hunt. On November 3 1943 Lynn Bogue Hunt wrote to Eugene V. Connett founder proprietor and in 1942 liquidator of The Derrydale Press: ".I have been decorating highball glasses plates and doing porcelains for a couple of years and with considerable success on a royalty basis". Looking at these exceptionally attractive and interesting plates it is easy to see why. Hunt's ducks pheasant quail and other species are vigorously depicted in flight with Hunt's caption and signature included on the front surface. On the back of each plate is shown a pair of the subject birds and a lengthy description about 125 words of their characteristics and habits lettered and signed by Hunt. Despite numerous attempts by various practitioners sporting art does not always translate well to other media but with these plates Hunt has successfully combined form and function with elegance and style.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A BEAUTIFUL SET. unknown books

Nimrod
Master Charles BROWN "Young Nimrod" "Champion wing and rifle shot of the world"
1883. An original 'front-of-house' board visible area: 30.5 x 22.5 inches with seven cabinet-sized albumen print photographs visible area: 5 x 3.5 inches. 1 vols. Frame size 34 x 26. Oak frame over matted board with seven openings for photographs. Photos somewhat faded the card mat soiled. An original 'front-of-house' board visible area: 30.5 x 22.5 inches with seven cabinet-sized albumen print photographs visible area: 5 x 3.5 inches. 1 vols. Frame size 34 x 26. A unique reminder of an extraordinary sporting prodigy. An original 'front-of-house' board with calligraphic manuscript text in red and black ink 'Mastr. C Brown / "Young Nimrod" / Champion Wing And / Rifle Shot of the World / as he appeared before / H.R.H. the /Prince of Wales / Prince Christian / and / various Members / of the / Royal Family.' the board acting as a custom matt for seven cabinet-sized albumen print photographs of Master Brown in uniform or in shooting kit all with gun in hand two with an accompanying gundog. <br/><br/>It is not possible to be certain but this 'board' looks like it was used in the lobby of a venue where 'Young Nimrod' was appearing possibly doubling as the 'card' which was used to identify his 'act' as he performed on stage. In any case it is a remarkable survivor from the age of P T Barnum Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley and a reminder of a time when the borders between sport theatre and spectacle were blurred to the delight of appreciative audiences in the UK Europe and the US.<br/><br/>In addition to showing great natural talent Charles Brown also had the advantage of being the son Thomas Brown the proprietor of the South London Shooting Ground at Nunhead. By the time he was eight 'Youing Nimrod' was already shooting to a very high standard see below for some of his most memorable scores. The Prince of Wales a keen shot was an occasional visitor to Nunhead and on the 3rd April 1882 at the Royal Aquarium Westminster Master C. Brown gave an exhibition of glass ball shooting before the Prince and his guests: this is probably the occasion referred to on the present board.<br/><br/>A contemporary account of 'Young Nimrod is given by Basil Tozer: "Last but not least comes Master Charles Brown of Nunhead alias "Young Nimrod" a boy not yet in his teens but who may fairly be termed the juvenile champion wing-shot of the world. Young Nimrod began shooting at the early age of seven and has from the time of his first essay made wonderful progress in the art. His name is well known in connection with shooting and he is frequently a topic of conversation at pigeon shooting reunions. The guns employed are of small caliber i.e. double and single 20 24 and 28 bores thereby making his performances all the more creditable. He was greatly eulogised upon his skill by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales before whom he gave an exhibition in glass ball shooting some years ago. Annexed are some of Young Nimrod's best scores: <br/><br/>First match at pigeons shot at Nunhead on December 18th 1882. To kill 34 blue rocks i.e.rock-doves out of 50 with a 28-bore gun at 15 yards rise. A strong wind favoured the birds rendering the task an extremely difficult one. Second match shot at Dawlish South Devon on the 28th December following. To accomplish the same feat under similar conditions. <br/><br/>It may here be well to remind the reader that Young Nimrod was at this time but eight years of age. His next performance worthy of note took place on January 25th 1883. This was an attempt to shoot 70 pigeions out of 100 at 18 yards rise and 80 fall using his 28-bore Greener . This he achieved in splendid style. He again backed himself to reapeat the same at the Union Club Hendon on the 2nd April 1883 and actually grassed 75 of Hammond's blue rocks out of the century 61 of which were killed with the first barrel. These figures speak for themselves and the boy's unerring aim added to his cool calm demeanour whilst shooting would do credit to any veteran sportsman - not to mention a child of nine. His expertness with the rifle is equally laudable. Young Nimrod's finest performance took place at Nunhead on 25 May 1885 when he broke 1047 glass balls in one hour the first hundred being disposed of in six minutes fifty seconds. The guns employed were two 24-bores and a 20-bore. In February 1883 he undertook to shoot 420 double rises out of 600 at the Agricutural Hall on three consecutive days. This he accomplished by destroying 513 out of the 600 in double shots. In the same year he scored 88 " kills" out of 100 clay pigeons. On the 2nd March 1884 Master Brown was tasked by his father to pierce 60 wooden balls out of 100 with a .380-bore rifle standing at ten yards rise the balls were thrown up by hand in front of him.

Regarding matters having to do with publication of Henderson's "My Life as an Angler." The letter reads in part: "You must not think that I am becoming dubious of the success of 'My Life as an Angler' when it comes out early next month because I am anxious to place a portion of the edition which my son is producing on the American market. I have still as much faith as ever in this book and probably no other person has read it so many times over but this step would probably eliminate the chance of failure and however great my faith I cannot close my eyes to possibility of failure with the present condition of things at home.The advisability of this procedure.arises solely from the general depression and scarcity of spending money which obtains here at the present time." There follow specific details as to size of the 1879 published edition as well as details on bindings and illustrations. <br/>A SPLENDID VOLUME WITH A NOTABLE LETTER FROM SATCHELL TO THE AUTHOR.

The Art of Angling Improved in all its parts Especially Fly-Fishing: Containing A particular Account of the several Sorts of Fresh-Water Fish with their most proper Baits. Also The Names Colours and Seasons of all the most Useful Flies. With Directions for Making each Fly .
Worcester: Printed by M. Olivers 1747. First edition. Printer's ornaments at beginning and end of text. 4 95 pp. 1 vols. Small 8vo. Contemporary panelled calf neatly rebacked and repaired front and rear free endpapers renewed. First edition. Printer's ornaments at beginning and end of text. 4 95 pp. 1 vols. Small 8vo. The Rare First Taverner's Copy. Westwood & Satchell note that although only Richard Bowlker's name appears in the first edition in the second his son Charles seems to lay claim to the work.
