EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and future King Edward VII, embarked on an elephant hunt in Ceylon in 1875. Standing proudly atop a majestic dead elephant, the prince exudes power and authority as he partakes in this traditional royal pastime.
The image provides a glimpse into the life of royalty during the late nineteenth century, showcasing both the opulence and adventurous spirit of the British monarchy. The intricate details captured by Ken Welsh offer viewers a chance to step back in time and witness firsthand the grandeur of this historical event.
As one of the most influential figures of his time, Prince Albert Edward's actions were closely followed by society at large. His passion for hunting big game animals such as elephants was not only seen as a sport but also as a display of masculinity and prowess.
Through this print, we are reminded of the complex relationship between humans and wildlife throughout history. While hunting practices have evolved over time, images like these serve as important reminders of our shared past with nature and how it has shaped our understanding of power, privilege, and tradition.
