Antique 1930s Photos of a Tiger Hunt in Colonial India
About the Item
During the rule by the British Crown in India between 1858 and 1947, tiger-hunting was regarded as a royal sport. In the 19th century, tigers were plentiful throughout all the forested areas of the Indian subcontinent. The jungle beasts of India are ferocious, while the Indian people were practically unarmed and unwilling to kill most animals because of their religion. Europeans, came to India in 18th century with new technology and weaponry in the form of guns and explosives. For these Europeans, especially the British that came as traders, these hunting expeditions, known as Shikar, became a prestigious sport and is now a well documented part of modern Indian History. These 4 vintage photographs, reproduced from the original negatives, capture that moment in history and are each professionally custom framed. For available for purchase separately.
