1838 Buffalo Close Encounter Hunter Lives Memoirs Scarred Travelling Write Eye Ball January
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical print titled "Hunter and Buffalo," we are transported back to January 1838, when Adulphe Delegorgue found himself in a heart-stopping encounter with a buffalo while travelling through South Africa. The image captures the intensity of the moment as Delegorgue comes face to face with the powerful beast, their eyes locked in a tense gaze.
Delegorgue, a seasoned hunter and adventurer, miraculously survives the close encounter with the buffalo but not without bearing physical scars that would forever remind him of his brush with danger. Despite the harrowing experience, he lives on to write his memoirs, chronicling his daring exploits and adventures in the wild.
This print is not just a stunning visual representation of a dramatic event in history; it also serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience of individuals like Delegorgue who risked their lives in pursuit of exploration and discovery. The image encapsulates both the thrill and peril of hunting expeditions during that era, offering us a glimpse into a time long past but still etched vividly in our collective memory.
Mary Evans Picture Library has once again brought to life an unforgettable moment from history through this remarkable photograph that speaks volumes about courage, survival, and the enduring spirit of adventure.
