CHINESISCHER JÄGER, WONG-QUINCEY 1939 Großwildjagd China Innere Mongolei
CHINESE HUNTER J. WONG-QUINCEY ROBERT HALE: LONDON 1939 1st edition. 22 x 15 cm. (8vo.) 383 pp. Frontis + 15 plates illustrated on recto & verso. A Chinese scholar educated in England with an emphasis on Shakespeare, Wong-Quincey took time away from his professorial duties in China to hunt big game. In 1916, he embarked on his first shikar in southeastern Shansi province where he hunted wild boars and goral. Later, and accompanied by a party of Chinese hunters, he bagged wild boar and deer (he does not identify the species). Near Kweihuacheng in Inner Mongolia, he collected burhel and argali, with an additional chapter on hunting roe deer in Shansi. With good humor, the author notes his own abilities to always hit what he shoots at, attributing the misses to his advancing age and thick glasses.
