Country Life Illustrated Vol. 1. No. 1 January 8th, 1897
London, Hudson & Kearns, 1897. Soft cover. The complete first issue of Country Life, with outer advertising covers. Thus 6pp of advertising, including property and horses, before journal proper begins with a portrait of the Earl of Suffolk & Berkshire. Much thereafter on horseracing and hunting, dogs, agricultural matters, and the first of the magazine's country house portraits, Baddesley Clinton, near Warwick. Golf, football and a brief item on Cape Town zoo follow. No girls in pearls, though the Princess of Wales is featured with her Borzoi hound Alix. Excellent period advertising. Outer covers a little toned and lightly worn but in general all in VG order. Folio. 30pp + 10pp advertising. Very Good/No Jacket.
