"In the Heart of the Dark Night" is a collection of works by American photographer George Silas III (1859-1942). Silas, a lawyer by trade and later a Republican politician and U.S. Congressman, is considered the "father of wildlife photography." He developed a variety of techniques for capturing wildlife in their natural state, including nighttime flash photography, remote wire trap photography, and even boat photography using a camera attached to the end of a riverboat to capture aquatic animals. His photographs, published in National Geographic magazine in the early 1900s, caused a sensation, and President Roosevelt is said to have been captivated by them. Silas III was also a passionate conservationist, loved nature and animals, and lived to convey their wonder. This collection features approximately 50 black-and-white photographs. The text is in English (the cover has damage from scratches from postcards and sticker marks).
