Walter D.M. Bell (1880-1954) was regarded as the 'greatest of all the old professional elephant hunters'. Loosely inserted is a 2pp. ALs from the author to an unknown recipient, dated 12 Oct 1951, lamenting the passing of the great era of game hunting, 'I love to hear from hunters; they are becoming rare birds I fear, in our sense of the word at any rate.' Included in this lot are two copies of W.D.M. Bell's autobiography, Bell of Africa (1960).
