Notes: Printed on image: "Les ravageurs" "Corral ; Ligne des rabatteurs" Printed on border: "In our issue of July, 1893, we gave a picture showing the result of a battue against rabbits in California, where hundreds of these lay dead in an inclosure. The above picture shows how these rabbits were driven into the 'corral' by the drivers. At fixed periods of the year the inhabitants gather and organize large battues. Great lengths of portable wire-fence are put up in the form of a huge triangle, of which the base is made of a line of drivers, who, with great noise, chase the rabbits into the triangular space." Written on border: "v3" Includes additional text.
