EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling shooting excursion in Malabar, Madras Presidency, India. The engraving by Alfred W. Cooper showcases the rich wildlife and adventurous spirit of the region during the late 19th century. In this scene, we witness a group of hunters immersed in their pursuit of game amidst stunning natural surroundings. Rock squirrels scurry about while monkeys playfully swing from tree branches, adding an element of liveliness to the composition. The depiction of these primates highlights their mischievous nature and adds a touch of whimsy to the overall image. The men are dressed in traditional attire, reflecting Indian culture and emphasizing their connection to the land they traverse. One cannot help but notice their pretty skin as they turn with anticipation towards potential targets such as antelopes or other creatures that may cross their path. While hunting is undoubtedly central to this expedition, there is also an intriguing mention of liquor present within the caption. It suggests that perhaps after a long day's hunt, these adventurers would indulge in some well-deserved relaxation and camaraderie over drinks. Overall, this engraving transports us back in time to experience both the beauty and excitement associated with shooting excursions in colonial India. It serves as a testament to our fascination with wildlife and our desire for adventure across different cultures and landscapes.
