EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when The Prince of Wales embarked on a thrilling tiger hunt in India back in 1864. Mounted on the back of a majestic elephant, the prince exudes an air of nobility and adventure as he joins the pursuit armed with a rifle.
The image is rich with details that transport us to another time and place - from the lush vegetation surrounding them to the Indian animal trainer guiding their path. The prince's attire, complete with a hat and armor, speaks to his status as royalty while also reflecting the fashion of the era.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the complexities and contradictions inherent in colonial pursuits such as hunting exotic animals for sport. It serves as a window into a world where power dynamics between nations and individuals played out against breathtaking landscapes and endangered wildlife.
This print on double-weight paper from Alinari Archives, Florence is not just a historical artifact but also an anthropological study capturing moments of cultural exchange between Western nobility and Asiatic populations. It invites us to reflect on our past actions towards nature and indigenous peoples while marveling at the sheer beauty and grandeur of this bygone era.
