Peter Beard's unflinching photography of African wildlife, The End of the Game, has been reissued by Taschen in a 2026 edition. The book, first published in 1965, chronicles the overpopulation and mass starvation of elephants and the ecological collapse of rhinos and hippos across Kenya's Tsavo lowlands and Uganda's national parks. Beard, who saw himself as an artist and a diarist, not a wildlife photographer, was documenting a system in failure. The images are annotated in Beard's hand, layered with text clipped from expedition journals and naturalist reports, packed into pages that feel more like a legal indictment than a coffee-table book. The 2026 reissue comes with new material, an interview with anti-ivory trade campaigner Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin, and essays by Paul Theroux and Dr. Laws.
