The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes was a late-19th Century publishing project based in London and dedicated to the Prince of Wales, an avid sportsman. Included here are 14 volumes focusing on fishing (2 volumes), fencing, boxing, wrestling, shooting (2 volumes), tacing, steeple-chasing, driving, boating, cycling, tennis, lawn tennis, rackets, fives, athletics & football, golf, cricket and hunting. Published in 1890, each volume is leather bound with gilt lettering on the spine. The condition is consistently EX throughout. It's tough to find such a quality large group.
