"Schillings, a German, was an astute observer and photographer

of African wild life besides being an able big game hunter. Much of

his photographic efforts were in the brush country near Mt. Kilimanjaro

and the Njiri Swamps in old German East Africa. There are numerous

instances of hunting elephant, rhino, buffalo, hippo, lion, leopard and

various species of antelope. The author was a pioneer of night photography

and captures wonderful images of predators on the prowl. His photo of a thorn

bush thicket makes one wince!", [Czech, pg.142: An Annotated Bibliography

of African Big Game Hunting Books, 1785 to 1950].
