Description:
A handbook for identifying domestic game birds written by Jan Sztolcman.
"I hope that every hunter, who would like to know the names of the birds he kills, will reach this goal with a little patience, studying the relevant sections of my book. At first he will probably encounter some difficulties, but after a short time he will become so skilled that he will quickly and accurately identify the various representatives of our national hunting avifauna.
May this work encourage many a hunter to study domestic birds." (from the introduction)
Jan Sztolcman (1854-1928) - Polish zoologist, traveler, ornithologist, hunter and scientist, curator of the Ornithological Museum of Count Branicki in Warsaw, editor of the "Polish Hunter".
