Antelope-Hunting in India - Preparing to Return, 1858. Engraving from sketches by Captain W. R. Goodall, of the Military Train, who writes:..the antelope has been run into and killed, and fastened behind the saddle of the sportsman. Some vultures on a rock close by are waiting for anything the dogs may have left of their share of the spoil.
