EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of photographs, titled "Tiger Hunt" by Colonel Willoughby Wallace Hooper, offers a glimpse into the thrilling and traditional hunting culture of the 19th century. Hooper, an accomplished soldier and photographer, captured these images during his travels in India in the 1870s, 1880s, 1890s, and early 1900s. The images depict the intricacies of a tiger hunt, from the preparation in camp with the hunters and their bearers, to the setting of the bait and the tense moment of the shoot. Hooper's compositions expertly convey the raw power and beauty of the tiger, as well as the excitement and anticipation of the hunt. In one image, a coolie carries a heavy load of supplies through the wilderness, while in another, an ox is tethered to a tree, providing a sense of the logistical challenges of such expeditions. The hunters, dressed in traditional hunting gear and armed with rifles, are shown in various stages of readiness, from loading their guns to taking aim. The photographs also capture the sense of community and camaraderie among the hunters, as they gather around a campfire or share a tent. The images offer a unique window into a bygone era, providing a fascinating look at the history of hunting culture and the traditions of the past. These vintage photographs, with their rich detail and historical significance, are a must-have for anyone interested in the natural world, hunting history, or the cultural traditions of the 19th century. The "Tiger Hunt" series by Colonel Willoughby Wallace Hooper is a testament to the enduring allure of the wilderness and the thrill of the chase.
