Published in 1927, Natural History Animals: An Illustrated Who’s Who of the Animal World by George Jennison M.A., F.Z.S., brings together fascinating insight into the animal kingdom with the charm of a beautifully crafted vintage volume.
Bound in rich navy blue leather, the book features striking gilt decoration including an elegant elephant motif to the front cover and a charming monkey detail to the spine. These decorative touches give the book a wonderful character and make it particularly appealing as both a natural history collectable and an interior styling piece.
