GAMEKEEPING: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY (QUILLER)

A comprehensive book on the history of gamekeeping, since the inception of the profession in the late 17th century until the present day. It contains a large selection of historic illustrations depicting the gamekeeper's work and also draws on oral and written testimonies from gamekeepers collected by the author. It provides a unique insight, providing an accurate record of gamekeeping in times past, something often neglected by other authors who have painted a much rosier picture of the gamekeepers life in bygone days, rather than a truthful one based on hard facts.
