A Duck-Shooting Expedition in India
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the thrill of a nocturnal hunting adventure. This print, created by an English School artist, captures the essence of an expedition featured in The Illustrated London News on April 15,1893. In this scene, we find ourselves inside a dimly lit room where hunters are preparing for their journey into the Indian wilderness. The air is filled with anticipation as they gather their equipment and discuss strategies for capturing elusive birds such as snipe and ducks. Bags are packed with ammunition and provisions while outside, under the moonlit sky, a railway station awaits their arrival. As midnight approaches, our group of intrepid hunters finally sets off along a dusty road towards their destination. They navigate through dense vegetation and rugged terrain using traditional modes of transportation like gharri (horse-drawn carriages) and donga (ox carts). Every moment brings them closer to experiencing the thrill of duck shooting amidst the enchanting landscapes of India. This engraving not only showcases an exciting hunting expedition but also provides glimpses into Indian culture. We catch sight of locals known as tikka-wallahs who accompany these adventurers throughout their journey. Their presence adds authenticity to this portrayal of Asian life during colonial times. With its attention to detail and historical significance, "A Duck-Shooting Expedition in India" transports us back in time to witness both nature's beauty and man's pursuit
