EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the early 1900s in Behar ungle, India. The image showcases the immense strength and skill of the men who are seen carrying dead tigers back to camp. Underwood & Underwood, renowned for their stereoscopic photography, beautifully captured this moment on a stereoscopic card. In this photograph, we witness the aftermath of a tiger hunting expedition during the British Raj era. The lifeless bodies of these majestic felines are being transported by mahouts atop elephants through the dense forests of Cooch Behar in West Bengal. The composition highlights not only the physicality required to carry such heavy loads but also serves as a reminder of man's dominance over nature during that time. The hunters' occupation is evident as they ride alongside their valuable prey, showcasing their expertise in tracking and taking down these powerful creatures. This image offers us a glimpse into an era when wildlife was both feared and revered. It symbolizes man's conquest over nature while also raising questions about our responsibility towards preserving endangered species today. As we delve into this historical photograph, it transports us to an India under colonial rule where hunting expeditions were common among British officers seeking adventure and trophies. This print serves as a testament to human fascination with power, control, and triumph over nature throughout history.
