Catalogue Note

RARE. The plates comprise Die hohe Jagd - Haarwild (1-14, lacking no.9), Die hohe Jagd - Schädliches Wild (1-9), Die niedere Jagd - Schädliches Wild (1-20), Die niedere Jagd - Federwild (1-21), Die niedere Jagd - Haarwild (1-6) and Die hohe Jagd - Federwild (1-7). This set appears to lack one plate from Hohe Jagd - Haarwild, and also, according to Lindner, the set of 10 plates of Die Parforcejagd. Some of the numbers on the plates in this copy have been altered.
