Notes: First edition of an important work on Spain and its wildlife, intended as the sequel to the authors' Wild Spain (1893). Chapman and Buck spent two years in Spain marching through mountains and desolate marshes watching and inventorying fauna. Among many other sites, they describe the historic hunting places of Coto Dañana, Andalusia's big game, wild geese, theSpanishbull fight, flamingoes, and wild camels. The work is enriched by stunning photographs that show the progress made in capturing animal images at that time. Chapman (1851-1929) was a British naturalist and hunter who made regular visits to the Iberian Peninsula, together with his friend Walter Buck, the British vice-consul at Jerez. He saved the Iberian ibex (goat) from extinction thank to his hunting restrictions.
