Illustrated with 12 mounted albumen photographs captioned in ink. Text within braided rule borders. ii 65 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Spectacular unrecorded privately printed diary recounting a hunting expedition in Kerala southern India from 27 July to 22 September 1865 "the best shikar trip I have ever had". The narrator and his companion A.M.D. bagged 43 heads of eleven different types of big game including tiger bear elephant bison chettul and others with original albumen photographs mounted and captioned in a neat hand. The unnamed narrator mentions passing hunting parties one such Brown Jones and Robinson suggests that he read Trollope when the novel appeared as a serial in the Cornhill; the terrain around Hassanoor Ghaut was familiar to him for he had planted fruit trees and roses near a camp building; mention is made also of Hamilton Brooke and Faulkener hunting the area the previous year. This may be Douglas Hamilton who in 1892 published a long retrospective 'Records of Sport in Southern India'. The narrator buys prepared photographic plates from a departing hunter who had ordered them from the Patent dry Collodion Co. of Birmingham. The two hunters were accompanied by the dog Scamp chief among a pack that included Tinker and a plucky three-legged dog Pinko both killed by a panther and bearers of cowardly deportment save for the plucky Rajii who stood by when the narrator faced bear and elephant. At times the grass was too high for a man to get through easily. Notably the hunter describes many photographic incidents including how the frontispiece "The Tiger's Siesta" came to be made. One day D. encountered a a tigress atop the head of a young elephant and shot her despite the commotion. The young elephant ran off. The next day going to photograph the tigress the narrator was charged by a herd of elephants. He shot an elephant cow and they moved on to photograph the elephant "taking the tigress with us. The men who carried her threw her body into the elephants arms and it looked so strange the tigers mouth being curiously drawn up as if she were laughing that I thought I would try a picture in that position.".

Oblong 4to. Group of 193 original albumen print photographs documenting the Indian portion of the world tour of Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria 1863-1914. This official voyage of the Archduke lasting from December 1892 to October 1893 had explicit diplomatic ethnographic and scientific aims as well as an unspoken goal of permitting the Archduke to recover his health after a diagnosis of tuberculosis. The royal party traveled aboard the imperial cruiser Kaiserin Elisabeth the most modern vessel of the Austrian fleet. They spent two weeks in Ceylon now Sri Lanka before arriving in India in mid-January 1893. The party spent two-and-a-half months in India before touring Nepal returning briefly to Calcutta to embark for Singapore at the end of March. The world tour continued with visits in Australia the Pacific Islands Japan Canada and the American West before the Archduke sailed from New York to Le Havre. The Archduke's stay in India included diplomatic engagements military reviews and a formal visit to the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad who was in late Victorian times the richest man in the world. The Archduke was put up in the Nizam's Bashir Bagh palace. The Archduke also spent considerable time hunting hawking pigsticking bagging some 20 tigers and leopard antelope sambhur black buck and just about every other beast of the chase in Ceylon he had hunted elephant. Franz-Ferdinand was a devoted hunter whose lifetime game bag exceeded 200000 animals; on the world tour his entourage included a huntsman and his taxidemist Eduard Hodek 1858-1929 who was also the Archduke's photographer and boon companion. The itinerary of the Archduke's travels permits the close dating of many of the photographs and events of the trip. A detailed list of the photographs is available. An exhibition in Vienna in 1894 publicized the collections made by the Archduke during his world travels and his diary was published as Tagebuch meiner Reise um die Erde in two volumes 1895-6. Upon the death of his father in 1896 Franz-Ferdinand became the heir to the Austrian throne. His assassination at Sarajevo in 1914 proved the spark that sent Europe and the world into war. The photographs document a wide range of subjects both formal and informal including views of the Archduke's activities grand receptions by the Nizam of Hyderabad military reviews sporting and equestrian events topographical vistas palace scenes as well as ethnographic and hunting images including substantial game bags. Many of the formal photographs of events in Hyderabad were taken by Lala Deen Dayal 1844-1905 noted court photographer to the Nizam and the first Indian photographer to gain international recognition for his work as a pioneer of photography in India only a few bear his studio stamp; but the images are identified in Höfer. Some of the views of and around Calcutta are from Samuel Bourne or Bourne and Shepherd.
