C. G. Schillings - In Wildest Africa - 1907
First U.S. edition 1907.
Translated by Frederic Whyte from the original German.
A lovely clean and bright copy.
Publishers brown buckram with block illustration
to the front board of an elephant face-on within a black circle.
Gilt titles to spine.
xvi, 716 pages.
Frontispiece portrait plate.
Full-page plates and in-text illustrations.
A follow-up to "With Flashlight and Rifle" with further hunting
adventures in East Africa and a plea to take 'active steps to
prevent the complete extermination of wild life'. A scarce work
by an early animal conservationist and pioneer of animal photography
of African wild life as well as night photography. Schillings was one of
the first sportsmen of repute 'to stand up before a snobbish public and
proclaim that the best sport for a man of cultivated mind is the snap-shooting
with the camera, rather than the pumping of lead into elephants, rhinoceroses,
antelopes, zebras, and many other harmless, beautiful, or rare beasts and birds'.
[from the introduction].
