Substantial collection of the first 30 years of this famous French hunting journal of the 19th century, which Thi\u00e9baud considers the most interesting of all French (“la plus int\u00e9ressante des revues cyn\u00e9g\u00e9tiques qui aient paru en France”).<\/span><\/p>\n Publication ceased in August 1870 (34th year) with the beginning of the Franco-Prussian war.
