About This Item

London J. Miles and Co., Ltd., circa [1923]., [1923].. Very good. - Octavo, 10 inches high by 6-1/4 inches wide. Softcover, self-wraps illustrated with a photograph of a rhinoceros on the cover page. This four-page brochure, advertising a series of lectures by Major A. Radclyffe Dugmore accompanied by showings of his film "The Wonderland of Big Game" is additionally illustrated with 3 reproductions of photographs by Dugmore, including a lion photographed by flashlight from 12 yards away, a photograph of a herd or dazzle of zebras at a water-hole and another of 2 giraffes, one with its legs splayed wide as it drinks from what is likely the same water-hole. Near fine.

The text includes notes about the film "At astonishingly close range is shown a family group of Rhinoceroses leading their natural lives in the veldt. Great elephants come crashing through the mountain forests of feed quietly on the grassy slopes, or stalk the camera man. Dugmore tells a thrilling story of nine of these monsters that stalked to within eight feet of him...."

The big game photographer and author Major Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore [1870-1955] was also an artist, illustrating some of his books and producing a series of prints of wildlife. He traveled extensively photographing and filming animals throughout the world and particularly in Africa. He was the author of "The Wonderland of Big Game", "The Romance of the Beaver", "Camera Adventures in the African Wilds", and "The Romance of the Newfoundland Caribou", among others. He was the subject of a 1931 Lowell Thomas biography "Rolling Stone: The Life and Adventures of Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore".
