EDITORS COMMENTS
Pariah Hunting in India- 'The Gridiron Jump' (1890) is an evocative and intriguing photograph taken by John Charlton for 'The Graphic', an illustrated weekly newspaper in Britain. The image captures a moment during a pariah hunting expedition in Hindoostan (India) during the late 19th century. The pariah, or Indian wild dog, is a large and powerful canid native to the Indian subcontinent, known for its agility and strength. In this photograph, a group of men, dressed in Victorian hunting attire, are shown in the midst of a gridiron jump, a hunting technique used to trap pariahs. The men are seen mounted on horses, their riding gear adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflecting the fashion of the time. One man, in the center, is in the process of jumping over a gridiron, a large metal structure with sharp spikes, which is buried in the ground. The pariah, sensing the commotion, is seen in the background, poised to pounce on its prey. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the hunting practices, fashion, and culture of the Victorian era. It also highlights the contrast between the men and the wild pariah, illustrating the tension between man and nature that existed during this period. The image is a testament to the adventurous spirit of the time and the fascination with the exotic and the unknown.
