EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tiger hunting, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India, c1900s (?)" takes us back to a bygone era of adventure and royalty. The image captures the essence of British colonial rule in India during the early 20th century. In this powerful group portrait, we see the Maharajah of Cooch Behar accompanied by his distinguished guests proudly posing with their impressive trophy - the result of a successful day's hunt. Standing tall and dressed in royal uniforms, these men exude authority and power. The central focus of the photograph is undoubtedly the majestic feline itself - a tiger that has been skillfully hunted down. Its lifeless body lies at their feet as a testament to their bravery and prowess as hunters. The composition beautifully juxtaposes man against nature; it symbolizes both domination over wildlife and reverence for its beauty. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to this historical moment frozen in time. As we delve into this image captured through stereoscopic photography by Underwood & Underwood, we are transported to an era where hunting was not only considered sport but also an expression of status among aristocrats. It serves as a reminder of how our relationship with animals has evolved over time. This remarkable print from Heritage Images offers us a glimpse into history while raising questions about our responsibility towards wildlife conservation today.
