EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the historic expedition led by the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, in the Terai region of Nepal in 1876. The Prince, dressed in hunting attire, takes a brief respite from his shoot to enjoy some lunch between the thrilling pursuits of big game in the dense jungle. The serene setting of the nullah, or dry riverbed, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. The Prince's entourage, including his trusted Indian mahout and the howdah, or hunting seat, perched atop an elephant, can be seen in the background. The Prince's passion for hunting, a popular pastime among the British royalty of the 1870s, brought him to the Terai region in search of the elusive tiger and other big game. The Prince's expedition to Nepal was a significant event in British colonial history, marking the expansion of British influence in the region. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the life of a royal figure during a time when hunting was a celebrated sport and a symbol of power and prestige. The image also highlights the rich cultural exchange between the British and the people of Nepal during this period.
