Clement St. George Royds Littledale (8 December 1851 – 16 April 1931) and his wife Teresa Harris (Scott) (1839–1928) were known in their time as the greatest British Central Asia travellers of the nineteenth century. Littledale is also considered by many hunters to be one of the greatest big game hunters of all time. He hunted horned game, the sheep and goats, that lived in the mountains of the northern hemisphere, and he collected for the Natural History Museum in London.
