Native of Mussouri - Black Bear Shooting in the Himalayas,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing 19th century photograph from the collection of "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates. The image captures a native man of Mussoorie, Uttaranchal, India, dressed in traditional attire, with a determined expression as he aims at a black bear in the Himalayas. The photograph, taken in the 1870s, is a testament to the hunting culture that existed during that era in the region. The man in the photograph wears a turban and a headdress, typical of the headgear used by the people of Hindoostan during that time. His body is adorned with a simple loincloth and a shawl, providing a stark contrast to the rugged terrain and the dense forest behind him. The black bear, a common species found in the Himalayas, is shown in mid-stride, with its back arched and its claws out, ready to attack. The photograph was published in "Illustrated Travels," a book that documented the travels and adventures of Henry Walter Bates in India. The book was published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, a British publishing company based in London. The photograph is a valuable addition to the historical record of the region, providing a glimpse into the lives of the people and the wildlife of the Himalayas during the 19th century. The photograph is a print, adding to its timeless and classic appeal. The use of monochrome tones enhances the contrast between the man, the bear, and the natural surroundings, making it a captivating and evocative image. Overall, "Native of Mussouri: Black Bear Shooting in the Himalayas," is a fascinating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural heritage of India.
