"In the Heart of the Dark Night" is a collection of works by American photographer George Silas III (1859-1942). Silas, who was a lawyer by trade and later served as a Republican politician and member of the U.S. House of Representatives, is considered the "father of wildlife photography." He developed a variety of techniques to capture wild animals in their natural state, including nighttime strobe photography, remote photography using wire traps, and boat photography using a camera attached to the end of a boat on the river to capture animals in the water. These photographs were published in the magazine National Geographic in the early 1900s and caused a great sensation, and there is an anecdote that President Roosevelt was fascinated by them. This is a collection of about 50 black and white photographs taken by Silas III, who was also active in nature conservation, loved nature and animals, and lived to convey their wonder.
