EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "India, Shooting Excursion in Malabar, Madras Presidency" takes us back to the year 1882. The engraving showcases a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of that era. The image is divided into seven distinct scenes, each telling its own story. In the first scene, we see a group of black monkeys indulging in some liquor before retiring for the night. Their mischievous expressions hint at their playful nature. Moving on to the second scene, we encounter a man holding up a monkey's skin while asking rhetorically, "What for? Only his skin". This raises questions about human exploitation and our tendency to value material possessions over life itself. In scene three, our attention is drawn to another man who seems remorseful as he declares that this will be the last creature he shoots. Perhaps it signifies an awakening of empathy or regret for his actions. Scene four presents us with a beautiful animal skin - possibly from one of these creatures - highlighting both its aesthetic appeal and potential consequences when hunting becomes excessive. The fifth scene portrays someone encouraging an unknown creature to drink - perhaps reflecting how humans sometimes manipulate animals for entertainment or personal gain. Next comes two engravings featuring rock squirrels – showcasing their unique appearance and adding diversity to this collection. Overall, this vintage print offers valuable insights into Victorian-era shooting excursions in India's Malabar region. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife and encourages contemplation on humanity's
