In 2001, Nick Brandt embarked on an ambitious photographic project, a trilogy of books memorializing the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. Focusing on some of the world’s last great populations of large mammals—elephants, giraffes, lions, gorillas, and their kin—he created two of the new century’s most influential photographic books: On This Earth (2005) and A Shadow Falls (2009). His iconic portraits of these majestic animals express an empathy usually reserved for human subjects. The magisterial On This Earth, A Shadow Falls collects the most memorable images from Brandt’s first two books, along with their accompanying essays. A testament to the bookmaker’s craft, it is the first volume on Brandt’s work to capture the superb quality of his remarkable, large-format prints, which are notable for their velvety blacks and tonal subtleties. At 15 x 13 inches it is substantially larger than his previous books, and it comes in a handsome cloth binding with a tipped-in plate on the front.

{PRETITLE} On This Earth, A Shadow Falls {POSTTITLE}

Every detail associated with this book is perfection. From the brief introductory and closing writings Nick Brandt incorporated into the material, to the fascinating way the animals stare back at the reader - it is quite simply the most brilliant piece of art I am privileged to own. Each picture speaks with an aura of magical nobility. A fantastic tribute to these creatures...

My book is proudly displayed in my living room on a book stand - it is worth every single penny!! A true piece of art. If ever I was shipped to a deserted island, I would take my husband, my dog, and this book with me!! That's how great this book is!!!

A work of art! I was introduced to Nick Brandt's photography through his first book, "On This Earth". After seeing this book, I have to say that "On This Earth" doesn't even come close to the quality of printing in this book. The prints really capture the feel of Nick Brandt's giant, framed prints. Even the book's construction is of a higher quality...the cloth binding definitely sets it apart. This book is larger than his previous ones, so the images are immediately more arresting. I'm also pleased that Amazon's price is so low...before, you could only buy this book from galleries at a more costly price.
