Wild Life At Home - How To Study And Photograph It

Fully Illustrated By Photos Taken Direct From Nature By C. Kearton
Published by Cassell And Company Limited: London 1898 1st Edition

"Richard Kearton (1862 - 1928) and Cherry Kearton (1871 - 1940), brothers, were a pair of British naturalists and some of the world's earliest wildlife photographers. They developed innovative methods to photograph animals in the wild and, in 1895, published the first natural history book to be entirely illustrated by wild photographs. Richard was made a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London and Royal Photographic Society. Cherry later became a wildlife and news filmmaker, and friend to Theodore Roosevelt. The Royal Geographical Society created the Cherry Kearton Medal and Award in his honour."
