A Good Day's Sport, c. 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a snapshot of an era when hunting was not only a popular pastime but also a symbol of colonial power and dominance. In this gelatin silver print by Joe Barnett, we are transported to the heart of Africa, where European hunters proudly display their conquests. The photograph showcases a group of hunters posing with their rifles and walking sticks, surrounded by an array of wildlife trophies. The scene is both awe-inspiring and unsettling as it juxtaposes the beauty of nature with the harsh reality of death. Amidst the hunters' triumphs, two loyal dogs stand faithfully at their masters' sides. Their presence adds another layer to the narrative – one that speaks to companionship and loyalty in the face of danger. This image raises questions about our relationship with nature and our role as stewards or conquerors. It serves as a reminder that every action has consequences for both humans and animals alike. As we gaze upon this black-and-white photograph from over a century ago, we are compelled to reflect on how societal attitudes towards wildlife conservation have evolved since then. "A Good Day's Sport" invites us to consider our responsibility towards preserving biodiversity while acknowledging historical contexts that shaped our understanding today.
