Navy leather, a gilt elephant and a monkey on the spine.
Published in 1927, George Jennison’s Natural History Animals: An Illustrated Who’s Who of the Animal World combines wildlife writing with 16 full page colour illustrations by E. H. Fisher. Its navy blue leather binding is decorated with gilt animal motifs, giving both the cover and spine distinctive details.
Inside, illustrations of animals including a lion, polar bear and beaver offer a period perspective on the natural world. Wear to the binding and lightly discoloured pages record the book’s years of use.
Stand it spine out beside contemporary books, or display the elephant cover facing forward on a study shelf. The deep blue and gold work well alongside warm wood, plain pottery and framed illustrations.
An illustrated volume to browse and display, and a thoughtful gift for a wildlife enthusiast.
