EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pig Sticking on the Churs of the Bramapootra, surprised by a Tiger" takes us back to the wild and untamed landscapes of 19th-century India. Created by John Charlton in 1891, this print captures a heart-stopping moment during a pig sticking expedition. Intriguingly composed, we witness an intense encounter between man and beast. A group of Indian hunters known as 'pig stickers' are caught off guard as they pursue their prey along the banks of the mighty Bramapootra River. Suddenly, amidst the chaos and excitement, a majestic tiger emerges from its hiding place - surprising both humans and boars alike. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings life to this dramatic scene. The expressions on each character's face convey shock and awe at this unexpected twist in their hunt. The vibrant colors used further enhance our immersion into this thrilling moment. Beyond its visual appeal lies a deeper exploration of Indian culture and traditions. Pig sticking was not only considered a sport but also an integral part of Indian heritage. This artwork serves as a window into that world - where bravery met danger head-on in pursuit of adventure. As we gaze upon this historic engraving, we cannot help but be transported back in time - feeling the adrenaline rush through our veins alongside these daring hunters facing nature's ultimate surprise: encountering one predator while pursuing another.
