Lot Essay

Writer Owen Edwards has described his confrontation with Beard's 'aerial photographs of dead elephants. They were ghastly and beautiful at the same time, and the mix was hypnotic. Coming upon them unexpectedly was the kind of thing that jogs phantoms loose in the mind.' (Edwards, Peter Beard: Beyond the End of the World, Universe, 1998, n.p.)
