Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Stalking Big Game With a Camera in Equatorial Africa, With a Monograph on the African Elephant' is a landmark work in the history of wildlife documentation and nature photography. Authored by Marius Maxwell, this volume chronicles pioneering expeditions into the heart of the African continent with the intent of capturing the majesty of its megafauna through a camera lens rather than a rifle. Maxwell's narrative provides a vivid account of the challenges and technical feats required to track and photograph large mammals in their natural habitats, offering readers a rare perspective on the biodiversity of Equatorial Africa during the early twentieth century.A significant portion of the work is dedicated to an exhaustive monograph on the African elephant. This detailed study examines the animal's physiology, social behaviors, and environmental impact, supported by the author's remarkable photographic plates. By combining the precision of field observation with the burgeoning artistry of early nature photography, Maxwell explores the life of the elephant as a subject of profound scientific and aesthetic value. This work serves as a foundational text for those interested in the history of African exploration, the evolution of wildlife conservation, and the development of photography as a tool for natural history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
