The Hunting Book of Gaston Phebus

About this book

2002 oversize American paperback edition oblong format Hackberry Press TX. Originally published in France; this is the English language edition. Amazing full-color artwork throughout. Here was a nobleman who lived from 1331 to 1391. He self-proclaimed he was delighted in 3 things: arms love and hunting. The manuscript itself to this title is elusive and the artwork is also rather amazing. The 3 sections of this title deal with: training dogs / instruction to huntsmen / how to conduct a hunt / another section deals with game itself. Informed captions enlighten the many spectacular pieces of art. Incredibly colorful.
