The Prince of Wales Embarks on a Daring Tiger Hunt in India, 1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photogravure print from 1876, we witness the adventurous spirit of the Prince of Wales during his visit to India. Mounted atop a majestic elephant, the future King Edward VII fearlessly sets out on a tiger hunt through the lush Indian wilderness. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing both the grandeur of British royalty and their fascination with exotic lands. The prince's entourage surrounds him as they navigate through dense foliage and treacherous terrain. Armed with rifles and accompanied by skilled trackers, they embark on an exhilarating pursuit of one of nature's most formidable predators - the regal Bengal tiger. This photograph not only reflects upon historical colonialism but also reveals insights into Victorian attitudes towards wildlife and blood sports. It serves as a testament to Britain's imperial power at its zenith while shedding light on hunting practices that were prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Woodville's collection, it is important to acknowledge its significance within Queen Victoria's reign (1837-1901) and understand how it contributes to our understanding of British culture and history. This stunning artwork transports us back to an era when exploration, adventure, and royal prestige intertwined amidst breathtaking landscapes like those found in India.
