Footnote
Note: Very rare: neither work in Schwerdt; Library Hub traces three copies only for Among the Red Deer, Cambridge, Durham and NLS, and a single copy for The Happy Hunting Grounds of Loch Luichart, at the NLS, described as having 38 photographs on 16 sheets. A third portfolio, titled In the Forest of Balmacaan, was issued (in two series) in 1873-4. Sale records for The Happy Hunting Grounds variously cite 41 or 55 prints.
