Great Hunters: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections Vol. 1
Edited
This is the most incredible and well-researched book ever produced on
trophy hunters and their collections. World-famous hunters from this century
share some of the most dazzling rooms ever photographed. Included are
Barnhart’s "whitetail wall," Golabchi’s "sheep
mountain," and life-size mounts of rhino, giraffe, and elephant—there's
even a great white shark! Since trophy rooms have curiously short lives
(the collections are usually sold, donated, or accidentally destroyed
when the owner dies), these beautifully detailed photographs and highly
original text are not just rich in aesthetic value, but are also an important
historical record of the world’s greatest trophy rooms, many of which
will no longer exist twenty years from now. A must-have for any hunter’s
collection. Outstanding color photographs. Coffee-table size. 172 pgs.
