EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1852 engraving titled "HUNTING: BIG GAME" we are transported to the lush jungles of India. The scene depicts a thrilling hunt for the elusive civet cat, showcasing the adventurous spirit and skill of English hunters during that era. A group of men, dressed in traditional Indian attire with turbans adorning their heads, embark on this daring expedition. Riding atop majestic elephants equipped with howdahs, they navigate through dense foliage while keeping a keen eye out for their prey. A hunter confidently holds his rifle at the ready, displaying his expertise in tracking down these agile creatures. The vibrant image captures the essence of an Asian jungle, complete with towering palm trees and exotic wildlife. A leopard lurks nearby, adding an element of danger to this exhilarating pursuit. Native hounds accompany the hunters as loyal companions throughout their quest. This intricate engraving showcases not only the beauty but also the challenges faced by those who sought big game trophies in distant lands during colonial times. It serves as a testament to both man's fascination with nature and his desire to conquer it. As part of The Granger Collection's extensive art collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history and invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance.
