John G. Millais is well known as one of England’s preeminent wildlife painters. Born in a Victorian era family of artists and hunters, he wrote and illustrated some of the finest hunting books ever. Now for the first time since 1928 when John Millais printed a very small run for private distribution, Wild Life in Africa is again available—and at a popular price! Safari Press faithfully reproduced Millais’s coffee-table book that consists of twenty plates depicting African game scenes. Eleven of the plates are in black and white and nine are in color. Antiquarian book experts feel that there were likely less than 100 copies originally printed. Safari Press has reprinted this very rare Millais work in a limited edition of only 750 numbered copies. Like the original, we used very heavy stock (paper); consequently, the quality of the reproduction is excellent. The subjects of Millais brush and pen are mostly lions, elephants, rhino, and buffalo. In addition he depicts hippo, sable, giant eland, and landscapes from East and southern Africa. A magnificent work that is sure to be a collector’s item once this edition sells out.
