EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures a significant moment in the life of the Prince of Wales, later known as Edward VII. In 1877, during his tour of India, the Prince can be seen standing proudly next to the first tiger he had ever shot. The image is filled with symbolism and power, showcasing the prince's prowess and skill as a hunter.
Surrounded by a group of trackers, the Prince exudes confidence and authority in this scene. His stance is strong and commanding, reflecting his royal status and position within society. The tiger itself serves as a symbol of strength and bravery, further emphasizing the Prince's own qualities.
This print is not just a depiction of a hunting expedition; it is a snapshot of history that tells us about colonial attitudes towards wildlife and nature during that time period. It also gives us insight into the interests and pastimes of royalty in the late 19th century.
Overall, this engraving is an important piece of historical import that sheds light on both personal aspects of Edward VII's life as well as broader cultural practices in British India at that time.
