About This Item
Oxford:: Basil Blackwell,, 1950.. Hardcover first edition -. Very good in tan boards with red lettering (minor wear to the spine ends), no dust jacket. . First printing. The preface by Paul Geroudet notes that "information about these colonies of the Camargue was scanty, unpromising and even misleading, and we were doubtful if the bird could succeed in raising its young in this district. To Etieene Gallet, of Arles, was reserved the privilege of discovering, in lonely and inaccessible regions, the localities where these wild and magnificent creatures assure the future of their race. To him we owe our knowledge of the most intimate details of thier life." Illustrated with 53 wonderful black and white photographs by the author. Includes statistical information on the colonies, bibliograpy. 127 pp.
