American big game hunter and museum patron Henry A. Snow holds a Winchester M1895 rifle and squats by the mouthparts of an African savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana) that he has shot during his several year safari to obtain specimens for a natural history museum in Oakland, California, somewhere in Africa, late 1910s. Snow collected over 150 mammals and 1,500 birds for the collection. Four local men sit behind Snow.
