[HUNTING]. Lower Silesia, Greater Poland. A hunting chronicle of an unknown by name Silesian aristocrat. It has the form of a yearbook, in which the author recorded the time and place of hunting, as well as the amount and type of game he hunted. The yearbook was kept over a period of many years - from 1891 to 1933. Every year there were from several to more than thirty hunts with the participation of the chronicle's author. Most of them took place in the northern part of Lower Silesia. The author took part in hunts organized by the owners of the Szczodre (Sibyllenort) estate. But not only. The estates where he hunted were almost 100, for example: Bukowina Sycowska, Chocieszów, Pogalewo Małe, Długołęka or Miękinia. He also hunted in the forest districts of Zmigrod (Trachenberg). He was also on hunting trips in Greater Poland: Borgowo near Śrem and Pijanowice near Krobi. He even played in Kamionka Strumiłowa in Galicia. Extremely interesting are the entries from World War I, when the author, as an officer in the Ober-Ost army, hunted in Bieloj (?) near Polotsk and in two other places in Belarus. In 1915, there were records of hunting in occupied lands in the east. The first page is a hunting calendar, hunting notes occupy 91 pages, exclusive leather binding with embossed bordering, with silver Jagd-Buch lettering. Dimensions 240x200 mm.
