Bright,clean,publisher's original air-force blue cloth boards with bright,crisp,stamped silver gilt letters to spine/backstrip and immaculate clean pale blue endpapers.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,2nd revised edn,7-192pp [paginated] includes half-title+title pages,contents list/table,author's introduction,11 chapters+afterthoughts,profuse mixture of both colour+b/w photographs - majority b/w - and a conservation postscript to rear. David Shepherd is regarded by many as being the world's leading wildlife artist.Paintings such as 'Wise Old Elephant' have made him internationally famous,and he feels passionately that he should repay his debt to wildlife.He has done so in a big way - he has raised some two million pounds (then 1989) for wildlife conservation.His 'Tiger Fire' painting alone raised £127,000 to help save the tiger, and he has now formed his own charity,'The David Shepherd Conservation Foundation'. David permanently has a three-year backlog of commissioned work; when he has a one-man show,whether in New York,London or Johannesburg,there is a queue of buyers who draw lots for the paintings. For hiis hobby,David again thinks big.He is founder and chairman of The East Somerset Railway,a registered charity, the home of Black Prince and The Green Knight,two mammoth steam locomotives he bought in full working order from British Rail.The railway also helps return something to wildlife - it earned £7,000 on the day it was officially opened by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands,the then International President of the World Wide Fund for Nature, and all the money was given to the Fund.
