EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Hunting Boar 1807: Pigsticking in India - giving chase," transports us back in time to the colonial era of the 19th century. The photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and intriguing history of hunting practices in India during the British Raj. The scene unfolds in an open, sun-drenched landscape, where a group of European hunters, dressed in their distinctive attire, are seen giving chase to a wild boar. The hunters, armed with long sticks called "pigsticks," have been beating sugar-canes to attract the animal, which has just emerged from the dense foliage. The boar, sensing danger, charges towards its pursuers, its powerful muscles tensed and its sharp tusks glistening in the sunlight. The thrill of the hunt is palpable in this photograph, as the hunters, with focused determination, give chase. The image provides a fascinating insight into the colonial hunting culture that was prevalent during this period, where the pursuit of wild game was a popular pastime among the British elite. The use of sugar-canes as a lure is an interesting aspect of this hunting technique, which was known as "pigsticking." The sweet-smelling canes would attract the boar, which would then be pursued and speared with the pigsticks. This method of hunting was considered to be both challenging and exciting, as the hunters had to be quick and agile to avoid the boar's powerful charges. This photograph is not only a captivating visual representation of a bygone era but also a testament to the rich and diverse history of hunting practices in India. It serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between man and nature, and the thrill and excitement that comes with the pursuit of the wild.
