EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Samuel Howett depicts a thrilling hunt in the British Indies during the 19th century. The scene shows hunters on horseback, armed with weapons, as they pursue a bear through a field of towering sugar canes. The intensity of the chase is palpable as the hunters navigate their way through the dense vegetation in pursuit of their prey.
The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to a time when hunting was not just a sport, but also a way of life for many in colonial India. The presence of elephants and other wildlife adds to the exotic allure of this scene, highlighting the diverse fauna that could be found in this region during that era.
Through his skilled engraving, Howett brings to life the excitement and danger inherent in such hunts, while also showcasing the beauty of the natural landscape. This artwork serves as a window into a bygone era, allowing us to glimpse both the thrill of adventure and the harsh realities faced by those who lived and hunted in these lands centuries ago.
Overall, this print from "Oriental Field Sports" is not just an artistic representation but also a historical document that sheds light on colonial attitudes towards nature and wildlife during this period.
