EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "A Royal Bag of Tigers, 1911 (1935)" takes us back to a significant moment in history - King George V's visit to India for the Delhi Durbar. This extraordinary scene captures the essence of British royalty amidst the exotic wildlife of India. In this image, we see a group of men dressed in traditional Indian attire, accompanied by British officials donning their formal uniforms. The focal point is undoubtedly the majestic tigers that lay lifeless before them, showcasing their prowess as skilled hunters. The king himself stands tall, wearing his distinguished pith helmet and observing the scene with an air of regality. This photograph not only reflects the grandeur and power associated with monarchy but also sheds light on the controversial practice of big game hunting during that era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's imperial dominance over India and its influence on local customs. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot, transporting us back to early 20th-century Britain when such expeditions were considered prestigious endeavors for nobility. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of both the beauty and brutality intertwined within our shared human history.
