"Something's in the Air" - Original Scratchboard by Sally Maxwell
Generously donated by MAXWELL'S ART: “Something’s in the Air” is an elegantly framed 24x36” original piece of full-colored scratchboard by Sally Maxwell, known internationally as a master of the medium. Her first trip to South Africa yielded an experience she will never forget as their vehicle was totally surrounded by a breeding herd of Cape buffalo. After watching them for over an hour as they wandered and meandered across their path and around their vehicle, the artist was able to capture many poses. This image was the most common as the buffalo approached, getting the scent of the watching people. Neither the herd nor the observers felt a sense of fear – just a wonderful moment in nature.

"Former Glory" - Original Oil Painting by Kobus Möller
Generously donated by KOBUS MOLLER STUDIOS LLC: Original oil on canvas by internationally acclaimed artist Kobus Moller titled “Former Glory” – measures 24”x20”. Kobus continues to delight his audience with a tangible look into the beauty, struggle, emotion and earthiness that embodies Africa. Using his signature abstract approach, he applies bold layers of color, freely mixing them with a wide variety of natural media to create stunning scenes. Kobus observes, “One thing I know is that to be an artist who grows through his God-given talent, it is imperative that you constantly reinvent yourself, that you are never satisfied with where you are in your development and that you remain humble in the process.” In praise of the one true master artist, Kobus completes each painting with the words “Soli Deo Gloria” (Glory to God Alone) beneath his signature. In addition to his native South Africa, Kobus’ works grace many collections in Canada, England, Germany, Holland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, China and the U.S. Holly Mathew, 281-369-2177, 17502 Hamill Dr., Rosharon, TX 77583, holly@kobusmoller.com, www.kobusmoller.com.

Full-Color Plate Images of African Wildlife from the Personal Library of Peter Hathaway Capstick
Generously donated by FIONA CAPSTICK: The first and, by now, exceptionally rare color-plate book on Southern Africa was Samuel Daniell’s “African Scenery and Animals”, published between 1804 and 1805 in Atlas folio format and in a very modest print run. The album was reissued in 1831 in what became an even scarcer edition. This high quality, exact facsimile reproduction, numbering only 550 books worldwide, is the first and only such reprint in the last 184 years. It was published in 1976 in Cape Town, based on one complete copy in the South African Library in Cape Town. The book comprises two sets of illustrations, thirty in all, drawn and engraved by Daniell and combined into one volume. The leather spine and corners are French sheepskin with gilt details on the spine and gilt edging to the corners. The logo of the publisher, A.A. Balkema of Cape Town and Rotterdam, appears in gilt on the front board, the hand-marbled boards being from Belgium. This is copy number 393 and is duly signed and authenticated as such by Frank Bradlow, the internationally recognized Africana specialist who wrote the comprehensive introduction to this edition. This copy is in impeccable condition and contains the calligraphy book plate of Peter Hathaway Capstick. Samuel Daniell was an English water-color artist from Surrey. This historic book contains his water colors pertaining to two expeditions he undertook between 1800 and 1802 when he travelled to the east of the Cape Colony and then to the far north, to what is today Botswana, before returning to Cape Town. The aquatint process was used for the original illustrations, the printed plates then being hand-colored in their entirety. This book appeared during the golden age of English water-colorists. The paintings are of great historic importance concerning ethnographic studies, wildlife and countryside as they provide some of the earliest glimpses of South Africa. One of the illustrations depicts the quagga, drawn from life by Daniell who saw vast herds of this animal during the above-mentioned expedition. The quagga was shot to extinction in the wild by 1878, the last captive specimen dying in the Amsterdam Zoo in August 1883. Samuel Daniell died in Ceylon in December 1811. He was only 36 years old. The celebrated, exceedingly rare first edition and this modern exact facsimile ensure the survival of his legacy as one of the most noted early artists of African wildlife and habitat.

Dallas Safari Club “Traditions” 2015

3-Nights/2-Full Days Upland Wingshooting for Two in Oregon
Generously donated by HIGHLAND HILLS RANCH: 3-night stay and 2 full days of upland wingshooting for two hunters at the Highland Hills Ranch (HHR) in Oregon. The HHR was recognized as the Orvis “Wingshooting Lodge of the Year” in 2004 and most recently in 2012 – one of only two Orvis-endorsed lodges in North America to receive this honor twice. Natural, managed habitat and diverse terrain, along with fast-flying birds, make this hunting venue vastly unique from any other in North America. Each day, and with NO limit, the winning bidders will have the opportunity to shoot the “HHR Grand Slam” consisting of chukar, pheasant, valley quail and Hungarian partridge. With over 3,000 acres to hunt, the ranch is carefully managed for one purpose only – to provide the finest upland bird habitat in North America. You won’t find a more perfect place for an unrivaled wingshooting experience, which is why guests return over and over again! In addition to being ORVIS-endorsed, HHR is one of only four North American wingshooting lodges to earn the Beretta “Trident Mark of Excellence.” (Beretta, a nearly 500 year-old brand, has rarely permitted their name to be used to signify the exceptional quality of another organization.) The five-star, 10,000 square-foot lodge located at the center of the property was custom-built using hand-peeled logs and is professionally decorated to offer guests elegant, yet comfortable, private rooms with en-suite baths and breathtaking views. Nearby coveted cottages offer the same comfort and elegance with the added bonus of privacy may also be arranged for overnighting. Additional hunters are welcome at current rates; non-hunters are welcome at 50% of the published hunting rates. This package includes double occupancy accommodations, sporting clays on arrival day, three course meals prepared by an onsite chef, all beverages (including a fully stocked premium bar), 12 & 20 gauge target and field load ammo, guide with professionally trained pointers & flushing dogs and processing/packaging of your game. If world-class wingshooting for pheasant, chukar, valley quail and Hungarian partridge in the most spectacular setting is what you are looking for, then Highland Hills Ranch is the shooting venue for you. This hunt does not include gratuities and transfers between Portland International Airport and ranch. Donation must be used by March 31st, 2016.
