Big Game Hunters, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 20th century in Africa. The artist behind this masterpiece is Lance Thackeray, known for his remarkable attention to detail and ability to capture historical moments. From his series "The Light Side of Egypt" this particular photograph showcases British hunters immersed in their profession. In the image, we see two men dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, carrying rifles and walking along an avenue lined with trees. Their donkey patiently awaits them as they prepare for their hunting expedition. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting the rich culture and natural beauty of North Africa. Thackeray's composition skillfully portrays both the occupation of big game hunting and its connection to colonialism during that era. As these hunters watch over their surroundings with focused determination, it raises questions about humanity's relationship with nature and our impact on different continents. This print from Heritage Images not only captures a significant moment in history but also serves as a reminder of how art can provoke thought and reflection on past events. It allows us to delve into the complexities of warfare, weaponry, occupation, and man's interaction with animals and environments far from home.
