The Dead Maneater, Behar Jungle, India, c1900s (?) - A Glimpse into the British Raj Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Underwood & Underwood takes us back to the early 20th century in colonial India. The image depicts two hunters proudly standing beside their remarkable conquest - a shot tiger. The scene is set in the dense wilderness of Behar jungle, located in present-day West Bengal. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when British imperialism was at its peak and hunting expeditions were considered both sport and a display of power. Dressed in traditional safari attire with pith helmets atop their heads, these British men embody the adventurous spirit that characterized this time period. The lifeless body of the majestic feline lies before them as a testament to their skill and bravery. It serves as a stark reminder of man's dominance over nature during this era. The composition captures not only the hunters' triumph but also reveals their deep connection with wildlife and nature. This stereoscopic card provides viewers with an immersive experience through its three-dimensional effect, transporting them directly into this historical moment. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful portrait, we are reminded of both the allure and controversy surrounding big game hunting during Britain's reign over India. Through this powerful image, Underwood & Underwood invites us to reflect on our complex relationship with nature and confronts us with questions about conservation ethics that still resonate today.
