Cockfighting and Game Fowl

Here is the classic of them all - the Game Fowl Book extraordinary; Herbert Atkinson was one of the original founders of the Oxford Old English Game Club. He was a naturalist, explorer, painter, sculptor and sportsman. He probably did more to advance the breeding of Old English Game than any man, past or present. This is truly magnificent history of these unique birds and the men connected with them. Originally published in a limited edition, many of which went to the USA, this book has been in great demand in recent years. The colored plates are a fine example of the work of Herbert Atkinson as a painter; they are printed from the original blocks. This book looks at the Old World with its Sports of shooting, cockfighting and other blood sports. Herbert Atkinson was probably the last of the great cockers and a legacy from another age.
