EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VII, during his shooting expedition in India in 1877. At the time, Edward was the Prince of Wales and the heir to the British throne. The image shows him in the thick of the wilderness, sitting comfortably in the safety of a howdah, a covered platform on the back of an elephant. With a determined expression on his face, Edward aims his rifle at a tiger that is charging towards him. The powerful elephant, controlled by a mahout, charges forward to shield the prince from the imminent danger. The scene is a vivid representation of the colonial era, with the British aristocracy displaying their power and dominance over the Indian wilderness. The use of advanced technology, such as the howdah and the rifles, underscores the superiority of the British over the local population and the natural world. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the civilized world of the British and the raw, untamed wilderness of India. The Prince, dressed in hunting attire, is a stark contrast to the wild tiger that he is about to hunt. The lush greenery and the rugged terrain of the Indian jungle provide a breathtaking backdrop to the scene. The image is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with the exotic and the wild. Hunting was a popular pastime among the British aristocracy, and India, with its abundant wildlife, was a favorite destination for hunters. The photograph also reflects the sense of adventure and danger that came with exploring the unknown and the untamed. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the colonial era, the British obsession with hunting, and the power dynamics of the time.
