EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Prince Albert Victor, accompanied by the majestic "Elephant King" embarked on an unforgettable journey through the lush jungles of Mysore, India in 1890. The image showcases the prince's adventurous spirit and his deep connection with nature. In this photograph, we see Prince Albert Victor seated comfortably in a jungle waggon, surrounded by dense foliage and towering trees. The regal presence of the Elephant King adds an air of grandeur to the scene as it gracefully walks alongside the cart. This remarkable encounter between man and beast symbolizes both their shared curiosity about each other's worlds and their mutual respect for one another. The image transports us back to a time when Britain's influence stretched across continents during its imperial era. It is a testament to the British Empire's fascination with exotic lands like India, where they sought to explore new territories while leaving their mark on local cultures. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of Prince Albert Victor's royal lineage and his role as Duke of Clarence and Avondale. His presence in this far-flung corner of Hindoostan represents not only his personal exploration but also highlights Britain's dominance over Indian territories at that time. This extraordinary photograph serves as a window into an era long gone – an age defined by adventure, discovery, and cultural exchange between nations.
