476 Pages Over 300 fine art captures Art paper (157gsm matte) 9x12" Limited Edition is linen-wrapped with a slipcase, and is signed and numbered by the artist Exploring Creation: African Safari is the latest book by acclaimed fine art nature photographer and author Zach Jones. While this tome is destined to be a beautiful centerpiece on the coffee tables of nature lovers worldwide, it has been painstakingly created to be held and enjoyed—an authentic representation of the incomparable scenic vistas and wildlife of Africa that will be admired and perused for decades and generations to come. This isn’t simply a coffee table book. This is art. The 300+ fine art captures found within will be an endless source of inspiration and gratitude for the incredible Creation we have been blessed with. Complementing each capture are Zach’s observations, stories, and experiences from his time spent on safari in the Laikipia Plateau, Amboseli, and Maasai Mara regions of Kenya and eastern Africa. The book has been artfully planned and designed by Zach himself. One can read the book page-by-page, or can migrate from one section to another; there are no right or wrong ways to enjoy these 400+ pages. Zach has been incredibly fortunate to observe Africa’s famed and rare species in very close conditions, including but certainly not limited to both black and white rhinoceroses, cheetahs, leopards, lions, and multiple species of giraffes and zebras. Zach was even fortunate enough to spend multiple days Craig—pachyderm royalty—prior to his passing. Spending time with these literal and figurative giants of the natural world are some of the highlights of Zach’s exploratory career, and he is thrilled to be able to share his favorite captures and stories with Collectors within the pages of this new coffee table book. Exploring Creation: African Safari is being offered in two editions: Limited and Open. The Limited Edition has a printing of 2,000 books, and features a linen-wrapped hardcover and slipcase (with one of four unique designs)—a luxurious presentation intended to invoke the aesthetics of the revered Africa-centric volumes from centuries gone by. In a first for Zach and his Wild Feather Gallery, four unique slipcase designs are being offered (500 of each). These timeless black and white slipcase selections include Craig the super tusker, a leopard majestically perched atop an acacia tree, a pair of giraffes striding across a quintessential African landscape, and two zebras positioned perfectly symmetrical—even if just for a brief moment in time. Each of the four offerings are destined to display beautifully in any setting, and will be printed using traditional techniques for a truly special appearance. Each Limited Edition is personally hand-signed and numbered by Zach. Buyers can select their desired slipcase design at time of purchase. Once all 2,000 printings of this Limited Edition are sold, no more will ever be offered again. The Open Edition features the same interior pages as the Limited Edition, but has a smooth matte hardcover featuring a visually striking male lion. Both editions measure a considerable-yet-easy-to-handle 12x9”, have over 400 pages, and feature over 300 captures (both black and white and mostly color). The interior paper is a carefully selected 157gsm art-grade matte paper, ensuring that each page offers the appearance and quality of pieces found on the walls of Wild Feather Gallery and our Collectors around the world.
