Contemporary black half-diced-calf over gray-brown pebbled cloth white silk moire endpapers gilt ruling & lettering on spines minor scuffing edgewear minor wear to corners still an exceptionally bright exemplar. This marvelous album of original Victorian watercolours by retired Royal Marine Artillery officer and longtime art instructor at Sandhurst elicit a nearly pastoral sense including nautical themes historic homes inns castles and landscapes. The album opens with a vivid watercolour painting of a decidedly bucolic Virginia Water possibly on the present-day Wentworth Estate with small boat amidst the water and trees and closes with a fine painting of steamship sailing past yachts tacking in the background and storm clouds above. The album begins with Milton’s Cottage at Chalfont St. Giles where he completed Paradise Lost and conceived Paradise Regained during the Plague years and was a popular subject of other British painters including Donald Macleod Joseph Webb and Charles Leaver. Other paintings include those of the Martello Tower at Seaford one of the 103 towers built from Aldeburgh to Suffolk on the coast of Eastbourne in 1803 when Napoleon threatened to cross the channel; Brook Place at Chobham a Dutch-gabled home built by William Beauchamp in 1656 after the original Elizabethan home had burned down in 1648; the HMS Hannibal at Portsmouth warship laid down in 1840 utilized screw propulsion and a 91 gunner commanded in the Crimean War by John Charles Dalrymple Hay -- at the time of this painting it was serving to alleviate overcrowding in the training ship Boscawan. Other nautical themes include No. 8 a view of ships in Portsmouth Harbour with the dockside in the background; No. 9 a sidewheeler steamship with lighters and rock nearby in the Medway off Gravesend; No. 11 a view of tall ships under sail at Fowey off Cornwall and even No. 47 a nicely rendered painting of boats sailing on the Medway with sails in colour and faint outlines of Rochester Castle and nearby Cathedral in the background.Fothergill also painted landscapes such as No. 14 Hindhead HIll Surrey on the main Portsmouth to London road 13 miles southwest of Guildford with Gibbet Hill rising in the background above the surrounding Heath; three beautiful landscapes of the Scottish Highlands No. 48 Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull Scotland in 1897 which would later be purchased in 1911 by Sir Fitzroy Donald Maclean and restored; Beeston Castle above the Cheshire Plain; No. 24 Franks Hall in Horton Kirby Kent Framingham after the property had passed to Vavasour Earle and in its original state; No. 26 the Mitcham Common Windmill one of the few houses ever built on the common and operated as windmill until 1863 when two sails were destroyed as depicted here -- it was later dismantled down to the base in 1905. Other historic places such as the Old White Horse Inn in Edinburgh where during the 1639 rebellion against King Charles I the Presbyterian ministers urged a mob to lay siege preventing the noblemen from escaping except for the Marquis of Montrose. This painting reflects its dilapidated Victorian state rather than the restored 1960’s version visible today. Fothergill 1839-1903 remains an enigma to many of the typical art references for British painters and exhibited three watercolours at the Society of British Artists between 1880 and 1884 including “The Mouth of the Dart” and “Hulks in Portsmouth Harbour” possibly an alternate version of Nos. 17 & 18 in the present album and later exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy in 1900. He received his first commission in the Royal Marine Artillery in 1855 was appointed to serve as instructor in Military Drawing & Surveying at the Royal Military College “Cadets’ College” at Sandhurst in 1868 under command of Adjutant Major W. Patterson and continued to teach there until his retirement. His distinctive signature closely mirrors that of his 1872 marriage certificate to Edith Kathleen Maclean in 1872 daughter of Royal Military College Surgeon Dr. Andrew Maclean 1812-1902 and by the 1891 census the couple parented 7 children and a niece in their busy household in Hammersmith London.

"On a fateful foggy evening not long ago Thomas Steinbeck told California landscape painter Benjamin Brode about the legendary 'watchers' who roam the wilds of Big Sur. The particulars of the account had been told to Steinbeck as a child and authenticated by such credible sources as his grandmother Olive Hamilton and Billy Post descendant of El Sur Grande ranchers and at that time the resident sage of the Post Ranch Inn. Steinbeck's compelling tale took root in Brode's imagination" and after Brode visited Big Sur bringing along "a basket of food and offerings designed to appeal to Dark Watchers' sensibilities" he returned hom and starting painting. The result was this beautifully-illustrated book.

In Near Fine condition in price clipped dustjacket with some light edgewear. Signed on title page signature only by Walter Bush Les Kouba and Jim Robinson. Copies signed by all three contributors are quite scarce. "Never before has so much information on how to hunt ducks and geese been contained in one book. All phases of the sport are covered in detail by two men who have had more than a century of experience between them from the market hunting days to the present.This is a post graduate course in wildfowl hunting leading to a masters degree.Guns gun fit decoys duck and goose calling duck identification and pages of useful information.". Bush shot trap with and hunted each year with Jimmy Robinson at the Duck Camp on the Delta Marsh and other fine waterfowling destinations for over 50 years. He was a National Trustee of Ducks Unlimited for many years and a long time member of the Outdoor Writers Association. Jimmy Robinson was one of the world’s most famous hunting writers and sportsmen editor for Sports Afield magazine and the hunting partner of some of the biggest names in entertainment politics and business. He was also a close friend of Ernest and Mary Hemingway and hunted with Hemingway's son Pat. Robinson was one of the original members of Ducks Unlimited a waterfowl conservation organization. Jimmy joined the Amateur Trapshooting Association as a statistician in 1922 an association that he maintained for the next fifty years. In 1926 he began writing for Sports Afield magazine with his first article about his good friend Annie Oakley. Renowned as a hunter fisherman and conservationist his writing career spanned 45 years. He wrote fourteen books on shooting and hunting. Each year since 1935 his duck survey of Western Canada was awaited eagerly by hundreds of newspapers all over North America. His contributions in building Ducks Unlimited were so great that they named him an honorary trustee in 1970 along with Bing Crosby and Andrew Mellon. Several times he tried to retire but could not — his editors would not accept his resignation and no one could replace him. Sometimes called the “Sportsman of the Century” Jimmy is the only man inducted into five Halls of Fame: Fishing Minnesota Skeet Trapshooting and Waterfowl. Jimmy founded his first lodge at Delta Marsh in 1935 in a farmhouse near Portage Creek. Its more luxurious successor dubbed the “Sports Afield Lodge” in honor of Jimmy’s long-time employer was built in 1958 on the east side of the marsh south of St. Ambroise. The “Sports Afield Duck Club” had numerous well-heeled members from a broad cross section of the American business community. Les Kouba 1917-1998 was Internationally known as one of the world’s foremost master painters of wildlife. He is recognized as the founder of the wildlife art revival in the 1970s and as such inspired many other wildlife artists. His deep understanding of wildlife stems from growing up on a Minnesota farm which afforded him ample opportunity to observe and study wildlife in their natural habitat. Kouba said “Because I actually hunted and fished I developed an early understanding of all of the background skills necessary for my future career as a wildlife artist.” Kouba gained fame as the painter of over 20 Conservation Stamps including two Federal Duck Stamps 1958 and 1967 as winner of the 1982 Wildlife Heritage Foundation Artist of The Year and for his Canadian Ducks Unlimited 50 Year Commemorative Stamp. “Ducks Unlimited is the world’s largest and most effective private waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization. In no small way we are able to say that because of Les Kouba and his art. He raised many millions of dollars for DU and played an integral role in our growth. His 1976 DU print Bluebills in Lifting Fog established a new record for fundraising. Because his images of waterfowl and habitat are so authentic they instantly capture the atmosphere of what Ducks Unlimited is all about.” American Wildlife Art Galleries hardcover
