1st edition 1965 Peter Beard 'End of the Game' Viking Press
About the Item
“The deeper the white man went into Africa, the faster the life flowed out of it, off the plains and out of the bush…vanishing in acres of trophies and hides and carcasses” proclaimed renowned photographer and artist Peter Beard in his 1965 seminal publication The End Game, a tome highlighting the atrocities of man made destruction done to Africa’s wildlife in the National Parks of Kenya’s Tsavo lowlands and Uganda.
An incredible 1st edition issue of "End of the Game" by artist and photographer, Peter Beard. Published by Viking Press in 1965.
This is rare opportunity to own the original. The seminal work by Beard. This book is incredibly special and documents an incredibly important period of wildlife politics in Africa that Peter documented first hand.
Exhibiting a powerful and poignant testimony to the past and present, Beard’s photo collage style works are juxtaposed to great effect by historical photographs of, and writings from, the enterprisers, explorers, missionaries, and big-game hunters whose quest for adventure and “progress” were to change the face of a continent and leave an irreversible legacy.
These images produce a multilayered and intensely personal account, exhibiting the environmental crises of overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants, rhinos, and hippos that Beard experienced in the 1960s and ’70s.
The devastating poaching incidents in Africa are echoed in End of the Game’s haunting images and text that fill its pages, which chronicle the same ruthless fate these endangered elephants were subject to over half a century ago as they are today.
Many know him as an artist and as a painter but Beard's documentation of what was truly happening in Tsavo National Park is a story everyone should know. This is the OG conversation starter coffee book table work.
