Large tusker (c. 150 lbs per side), Tsavo North, nr. block 33 & Ithumber Hill, Feb.
A striking gelatin silver print by Peter Beard capturing a massive elephant with extraordinary tusks weighing approximately 150 pounds per side, photographed in the rugged landscape of Tsavo North near Block 33 and Ithumber Hill. Beard's signature documentary style conveys both the awe-inspiring scale of this rare tusker and an underlying sense of urgency about the fragility of such magnificent creatures. The image reflects Beard's lifelong obsession with African wildlife and his role as a witness to the vanishing wilderness of the continent.
