EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary figure of Frederick Selous (1851-1917), an intrepid traveler and hunter whose exploits in Africa continue to inspire awe and admiration. Taken in 1894, during the height of Selous's career as a big game hunter, the image shows him proudly holding the head of a lion, a testament to his skill and courage in the face of danger. Born in England in 1851, Selous first traveled to Africa in 1871, and over the next several decades, he explored and hunted throughout the continent, becoming a respected authority on African wildlife and geography. He was a prolific writer, publishing several books on his adventures, including "The Hunting of the Sun" and "African Games," which brought him widespread acclaim. Selous's reputation as a sportsman and explorer was well-deserved. He was known for his fair-play approach to hunting, refusing to use traps or poisons, and for his deep respect for the natural world. This respect is evident in the photograph, as Selous gazes intently at the lion's head, acknowledging the majesty and power of the animal he has hunted. The photograph also serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when the wilds of Africa were still largely unexplored, and men like Selous could live and hunt in relative isolation. Today, Selous is remembered not only as a skilled hunter and writer, but also as a pioneer and a symbol of the human spirit of adventure and exploration. This historic image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was still full of mysteries and challenges, and when men like Frederick Selous were willing to face them head-on.
