Scarce and attractive. 'National Games of Ballarat and Melbourne produced a wide range of games mainly during the early half of the 20th century in Australia. The company had its beginnings in Ballarat by W. Owen in 1877 growing to prominence towards the end of the century and has been credited to have been the first large-scale Australian manufacturer of locally-designed board games. Application for the actual trademark name National was recorded in 1899 by Christopher George King. Games were often related to Australia's love for recreation and sport; such as cycling golf football tennis and cricket as well as various forms of racing such as motorcars aeroplanes horse or yachting. Contemporary themes of the period produced games such as the exploration of Antarctica World War I the Boer War and the boy scouts. Games that reinforced the moralilty of the times included courtship and marriage snakes and ladders and Fairytales and fables. The design of the boards was colourful and attractive. Many of the games were obviously re-vamped over time with more suitable modern graphics for the changing eras. Christopher George King has been acknowledged as the designer and manufacturer of the games made by the National Games Company. He designed the board games from around the early 1900's till the late 1920's and copyrights can be found in the National Archives of Australia. He is listed in the Victorian electoral rolls as a manufacturer living in Melbourne during the early part of the 20th Century. He was born in England and died at the age of 63 in 1928. The National Game Co. continued to issue board games as late as the 1940s.' - Board Game Geek blog https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/5874/national-game-company hardcover

First edition of this excellent early account of hunting on the Kenai Peninsula including descriptions of Alaskan Native Americans salmon cannery operations and more. Radclyffe had acquired a permit from the Bureau of Biological Survey with the USDA in order to collect big game specimens for the British Museum and the account was dedicated to a longtime fellow hunter and friend Theodore Roosevelt. The author details his experiences with hunting Alaskan Brown Bears Grizzly Bears Moose Dall Sheep and running afoul of the zealous US Deputy Marshal Sexton a stickler for the new game regulations instituted on the Kenai in 1903 not to mention destroying the distilling operation of Alaskan hunter & miner Andrew Berg. He managed to survive a charging bear sow after being abandoned by his guide as well as the Alaskan courtroom but his companions were not so lucky as the judge ruled that the permit did not extend to the hunting party. Radclyffe returned later to hunt Alaska on the Kenai in August 1910 employing Andrew Berg as his head guide.
