December 1911: A Royal Hunting Expedition in Nepal - King George V's Great Shoot This historic photograph captures a moment from King George V's (1865-1936) grand shooting expedition to Nepal in December 1911. The King is seen here in the lush jungles of Nepal, lying triumphantly at the feet of his majestic elephant, surrounded by his entourage. The Maharajah of Nepal, with a respectful gesture, looks on from the left. At the King's feet lies a freshly killed tiger, a testament to the successful hunt. King George V, the Emperor of India, embarked on this expedition to strengthen diplomatic ties with the Maharajah and explore the rich wildlife of the region. The British monarch, an avid hunter, was known for his love for big game hunting. The photograph shows the King in his element, dressed in hunting attire and seated comfortably in the howdah of his elephant. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and adventure. The King's attendants are seen in the background, ready to assist him. The Nepalese locals, dressed in traditional clothing, look on in awe and curiosity. The jungle, teeming with life, forms a beautiful backdrop to this royal event. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange between Britain and Nepal during the colonial era. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the royalty and the people of the time, and the unique bond they shared with nature and the thrill of the hunt.
