Bitten Cherry Displays Exploration Explorer Legging Lion Photographer
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, renowned explorer and travel photographer Cherry Kearton proudly displays a legging that bears the evidence of an encounter with a formidable foe - a lion. The image, taken circa 1913, transports us back in time to an era of daring adventures and exploration. Kearton, known for his groundbreaking work in wildlife photography, was no stranger to the risks and challenges of capturing the beauty and power of nature in its rawest form. This photograph is a testament to his bravery and determination, as well as the inherent danger that came with his chosen profession. The legging, bitten through by the lion's powerful jaws, is a stark reminder of the close encounters Kearton had with the wild animals he sought to document. The torn fabric, frayed edges, and the obvious bite marks add a sense of authenticity and excitement to the photograph. Kearton's explorations took him to some of the most remote and inhospitable corners of the world, from the African savannah to the Arctic tundra. His innovative techniques, such as using hidden cameras and camouflage, allowed him to capture images that were previously unseen and unrecorded. This photograph, with its historical significance and intriguing story, is a valuable addition to any collection of exploration and wildlife photography. It not only showcases the beauty and power of nature but also the courage and determination of those who dared to explore and document it. Cherry Kearton's legacy as an explorer and travel photographer continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, and this photograph is a testament to his unwavering commitment to capturing the wonders of the natural world, no matter the risks involved.
