John G. Millais is well known as one of Englands 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, Safari Press has faithfully reproduced his WILD LIFE IN AFRICA, a coffee-table type book consisting 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 is now reprinting this very rare Millais work in a limited edition of only numbered 750 copies. Using very heavy paper stock, like the original, the quality of the reproduction is excellent. The subject's of Millais brush and pen are mostly lions, elephants, rhino, buffalo. In addition he depicts hippo, sable, giant eland and water hole scenes in East and Southern Africa. A magnificent work that is sure to be a collectors item once this edition sells out.
